If you haven’t noticed late­ly, the landscape of the city of Sachse is changing. Stores and restaurants are opening and there are multiple construction projects happening around the city. Keeping a watchful eye over the progress is Economic Development CEO Leslyn Blake.

“We are definitely on a major growth spurt,” Blake said. “The tide is turning in Sachse.”
