Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 2nd of July.
Good morning, Longview.
🏛️ Government
Four counties voted Tuesday to join a 16-county groundwater conservation district aimed at protecting local supplies—legislation on the plan is expected in 2027.
County officials say the district will regulate commercial wells to ensure water for homes, farms and businesses.
Longview’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board backed a proposal to donate Temple Emanu-El to the city, suggesting it be torn down (demolition expected to cost less than $100,000) and the site turned into a park.
The plan will be submitted to City Council for review in the coming months.
🏈 Sports
Dr. Courtney Pruitt of Kilgore College secured NJCAA championship status for women’s flag football—its growth rising from 15 to 33 sponsoring colleges for the 2027-28 academic year.
The college is evaluating the opportunity to launch its own program.
