GAINESVILLE, Texas — A major Interstate 35 highway expansion project promises to bring enhanced connectivity, downtown renewal, and accelerated economic growth to Gainesville, according to the Gainesville Economic Development Corporation. The I-35 expansion represents a significant infrastructure investment that will improve transportation efficiency through the region while creating new opportunities for business development and job creation. The enhanced highway capacity is expected to attract additional commercial and industrial investment to Cooke County. Gainesville EDC officials emphasize that improved connectivity along the I-35 corridor will strengthen the city's position as a strategic location for businesses seeking access to major markets in both Texas and Oklahoma. The expansion also aligns with broader regional development initiatives aimed at supporting population growth and economic diversification.
