Page "Martindale, Texas" Paragraph 5

In Fall 2007, Carl worked with students at Texas State University of San Marcos in the Interior Design program, under the guidance of Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator Nancy Granato, to receive help envisioning further planning of the town.

The project entailed assigning each group of students a specific building ( i. e. silos, weigh station, etc.

) to redesign the interior of and to think of a possible business that would work well with the space.

One group worked on the landscape plan of the town in relation to planting native species of trees and plants, creating a city park, putting in new sidewalks and outdoor lighting.

The ideas were then presented to Carl as well as some of the residents and leaders of the town.
