Construction Begins on Cooper Plaza
Wylie, Texas – May 29, 2024. The Wylie Economic Development Corporation (Wylie EDC) today announced the start of construction for Cooper Plaza, located at the SWC of Hwy 78 and Brown Street.
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Improvements: The project kicks off today with the first phase of the TxDOT median improvements: two hooded left turn lanes and three deceleration lanes along State Highway 78 near its intersection with Brown Street.
