At the start of every new year, Community Impact Newspaper readers can expect something a little different. Last January, we recapped some of the biggest stories the area had seen and told readers what to look out for in 2017. We highlighted a handful of restaurants and local businesses as well as major transportation projects. I am pleased to report that for the most part we are still doing that, but this year is better than ever. Enclosed in these pages, readers will find a story about the ongoing TEXRail project running through Grapevine and Colleyville, as well as our traditional recaps of other major happenings in the area. Instead of putting the spotlight on just a few local businesses, we are introducing our readers to the newest restaurants and businesses in the area and highlighting what kind of experience and services they deliver. Our goal is to combine the best content from our standard “January Issue” with an in-depth guide to create a resource that we hope will have at least a six-month shelf life in your homes. I know it will in mine.
