A planning meeting this Thursday at City Hall will discusss changing the name of Sulphur to Sulphur Springs and other issues related to business development, City Manager Bill Holley announced.

Holley said the meeting is for everyone interested in providing input into the Sulphur General Plan. It will be held Thursday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m. at the City Hall conference room. Anyone interested in helping shape the future of Sulphur is invited to attend, Holley said.

He advised for interested citizens to bring their ideas on how the city of Sulphur can grow and attract new business. A partial list already compiled from information received at the first meeting in May will be discussed and additions and deletions will be made to the list to refine what is wanted by residents and business owners in Sulphur, he said.

The city's planning partner, James Toal of Gideon Toal in Fort Worth, will be in attendance to provide an update on new businesses interested in relocating to Sulphur. A discussion will also be held on changing the name of Sulphur to Sulphur Springs. The response to that question in the questionnaire that was published in the Times-Democrat recently has been in favor of the name change, according to Holley.

Other questions to be discussed are, what people like most about Sulphur, what changes would you like to see and what types of businesses would you like to see move to Sulphur.
