ENNIS:
RAILROAD TOWN NAVIGATES THE TRACKS OF TIME
| | |
|
|
By the mid-20th century, the significance of the railroad began to decline in the city, as the postwar boom of the mid-century favored the automobile over the locomotive. That's when Ennis had to find a way to adapt to the times.
It did so by embracing its transportation history while creating new ways of life for residents. It's done so by revitalizing its downtown and serving as a gateway to the metroplex for people traveling north into Dallas.
The growing community, only 35 miles from downtown Dallas, now offers cost-of-living savings, convenient transportation with a well-developed roadway system, less commuting time and more time for quality of life, affordable utilities, and development incentives to help you achieve your business goals.
