llis County residents
expect ‘super’ economy
■7AXAHACHIE (AP) — The way El-
^^Kounty residents have it figured, they
didn't just get a superconducting super
collider on Thursday. They also got a
cafeteria, a new hotel, and maybe a new
mall
Hhe 53-mile super collider ring is
golden, in the eyes of local folks.
L “I've been through a lot of land spec
ulation in this county, but nothing like
this.” real estate agency owner Tom
Crabb said. “The land values here could
double inside the ring — maybe more. ’’
If built, the super collider would bring
an estimated 4,000 construction jobs and
3,500 permanent jobs to this town of
18j000, about 30 miles south of Dallas.
As word spread through Ellis County
that the Department of Energy chose it as
the site for the giant atom smasher, resi
dents began celebrating their newfound
fortune — even though Congress has yet
tolpprove funding for the $4.4 billion
project. ini i
Hlany people drifted around the streets
of Waxahachie, watching television
camera crews film the future home of
America’s most advanced scientific pro
ject.

but not quite sure where to begin, rushed

mercial development that might grow out
of the collider boom.
“You know what this town has
needed, but never had?’’ he asked. “We
don’t have a cafeteria. You know, like a
Wyatt’s or something. We’re big enough
for a McDonald’s, but we’ve never been
big enough for a cafeteria. I’ve had to
drive to Dallas.”
Crabb, a former Waxahachie Chamber
of Commerce president, said he expects
large corporations to suddenly set their
sights on Waxahachie. Arby’s already
has staked out a parcel of land, and a
large undeveloped area near State High
way 287 and Interstate 35 looks prime
for a mall, he said.
Other people traded rumors of a new
Disney-style amusement park moving to
the area.
The economic windfall of the super
collider — estimated to pump $270 mil
lion a year into the local economy —
would spread far beyond the county line.
“This will change our economic and
educational base for all time,” said Dal
las City Councilman Jack Evans, who
led a committee to lure the project to
Texas.“You will see many awards and
benefits coming out of the research that
will be done here.”

ENNIS (AP) — Flanked by local pub
lic officials, U.S. Rep. Joe Barton on
Thursday applauded the work Texans did
to land the super collider and said Presi
dent-elect George Bush will be a plus in
winning funding for the atom smasher.
But the 6th District Texas congress
man warned that the battle to bring the
giant nuclear particle accelerator to Ellis
County isn’t over.
“It’s very similar to being chosen the
site to host an Olympic competition,”
Barton told super collider supporters in
Ennis. “While we’re happy about being
chosen, we still have to raise the
money.”
Texas voters have approved a $1.1 bil
lion bond package to reduce federal costs

for the $4.4 billion, high-energy physics
project.
The first step toward federal funding is
inclusion of $300 million to $400 million
in planning and construction funds in the
president’s budget, to be submitted to
Congress in early 1989, Barton said.
Barton, a Republican, said there’s no
direct link between Texas’ victory in the
super collider stakes and Tuesday’s elec
tion.
But then he added: “It didn’t hurt us
one bit that President-elect Bush is from
Texas. It’s going to help us tremen
dously getting the project funded in Con
gress.”
Earlier, Barton referred to the super
collider as the “Ronald Reagan High En
ergy Physics Research Center.” If the
center is built, U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm
said it will be named for Reagan.
Barton recalled his first few days as a
United States representative, when two
Texas scientists visited him to talk about
locating the atom smasher in the state.
“We were down on our knees in my
office looking at maps,” he said. “They
convinced me that it’s a do-able deal,
and I began to work on it. ”
The Ennis news conference called by
Barton and other super collider boosters
had all the air of a pep rally.
A local high school band greeted the
dignitaries, who heaped praise on the cit
ies of the Dallas-Fort Worth area for
uniting to win the project.
Dallas Mayor Annette Strauss called it
a landmark day for Texas and the region,
a giant economic and educational boost.
“I say to all of you, congratulations,”
she said. “We’ve got to roll up our
sleeves now and get the work done. ”

®“There’s an awful lot of credit that
-

goes to a lot of people,” Clements said.
“We pulled a lot of different constitu
encies together. We hitched all these
■fcple to the same wagon, and those
Kses really performed. ’ ’
The state’s interest in the super col
der began in earnest in 1983, when the
Hnence and Technology Council, cre-
ated by then-Gov.. Mark White, started
-^preliminary work in the national compe-
^ tition for the $4.4 billion project.
Four Texas universities — Texas
A&M University, the University of
Texas-Austin, Rice and the University of
Houston — earlier formed a consortium
that had established the Texas Accelera
tor Center in The Woodlands to make
preliminary site and design studies.
In November 1984, White’s office
transferred $400,000 to the four schools
for geological, geographic and socioeco
nomic studies of possible super collider
sites.
The Legislature climbed on board in
1985, creating the Texas National Re
search Laboratory Commission to over
see the state’s efforts at winning the col
lider project.
The commission also was given the
power of eminent domain to acquire land
for the project.
In 1987, Gov. Clements appointed the
nine-member research laboratory com
mission, headed by former University of
Texas president Peter Flawn, and a 13-
member citizen advisory group as well,
funding their activities with $500,000
from his office.
“It was clear from the outset that we
had to do a great deal in a very short
time,” Flawn said. “The only thing he
(Clements) said to me was, T want to
win this and you do whatever is nec
essary.’”
The T.L.L. Temple Foundation
awarded the commission $1 million to
support its work.
The Legislature really got moving in
1987, passing a number of new laws to
help. But voters did the biggest part —in
November 1987 — by approving a con
stitutional amendment that allowed the
state to issue $500 million in general ob
ligation bonds for the super collider and
allowing the commission to sell another
$500 million in revenue bonds. The
bonds were to be issued only if Texas
won.
According to the House Research Or
ganization, a legislative study group, the
state bonds likely would be used to pro
vide $600 million to $700 million in con
struction costs for the super collider lab,
to buy $200 million in electrical utility
capacity to help lower utility costs, and
to back $100 million in higher education
and physics research projects.
