Weslaco road project cuts sales at coffee shop; city admits not properly notifying businesses
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Weslaco coffee shop, La Casa Azul Coffee Bar, is experiencing a significant drop in sales due to nearby road construction on Sugarcane Drive. Owner Mina Reyes reports a decline of 80 to 90 percent in daily sales since the project began two weeks ago. She was unaware of the construction until she arrived at work, having received no prior notification from the city. The $520,000 project, which started on July 6, includes road repaving and drainage upgrades. The city acknowledges the lack of communication and is working to improve its notification process for future projects, while ensuring access to businesses remains open during construction.
