The Newton county town of Mansfield has always been a charming little place that most people just drive through on their way to somewhere else.

After reading about their new proposed town square and the general cleanup of old railroad property, there are signs the sleepy little Newton County town is beginning to awaken.

We are glad to see this process and encourage the new elected officials to continue in the same vain.
This type of activity, in the long run, will encourage retail businesses to locate in Mansfield, which will not only be good for the residents of Mansfield but the whole county, as well.
