“We’ve come a long way from the early days of me making food in my own kitchen,” Neola said. “I’ve gone all the way from southern California to now having 20,000 square feet on 6 acres in Sulphur Springs. …I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the city of Sulphur Springs.”
The council then unanimously approved the rezoning of the Luminant or Thermo mine property to heavy industrial. No citizens presented themselves for public comment.
