Chamber cuts ribbon at new transportation center

The Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday for the new West Orange-Cove CISD transportation center built next to West Orange-Stark High school on Newton Street in West Orange. The covered building is paved and houses the buses inside, rather than outdoors on a fenced-in lot. Superintendent Dr. Rickie Harris said now the drivers will not have to walk through mud and rain to get to their buses. The construction project was part of the recent bond issue approved by voters.
