EL PASO, Texas -- There's no speed limit on the growth in Horizon City.

"It's been phenomenal. Before we just had a little 7-Eleven at the corner there, a hair place and that was it," said Chris Towers, a Horizon City resident since 1974.

Development is flourishing and it includes more schools in the near future.

On Friday morning, the Clint Independent School District held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new middle school designed to hold 1,200 students. And where there's schools, families will move in and businesses will establish.

"We are growing with the business. They already have the Walgreens going up," said Darlene Galindo, a clerk at The Store.

She said she has seen the volume of customers increase.

"Especially with all the building and the construction workers that are building here. We're getting a lot more customers than what we usually had," said Galindo.

But with all this development, traffic is overflowing. Horizon City Mayor Walter Miller said more roads are essential.

"Considering the plan development between Horizon City and the freeway, we're going to need more access in and out," said Miller.

And while most residents are enjoying the economic growth in their city, they know there's a downfall.

"Our roads are already clogged. I don't know what the powers of be are going to do, but it's going to be a tough one getting to work," said Towers.

Clint ISD will recruit teachers and support staff for the middle school starting around this time next year.
