Marble Falls seeing a rosier economic picture

MARBLE FALLS — One glance at the Marble Falls business landscape and a theme begins to emerge.

Cranes tower over new businesses, city offices, a hospital and a bridge. Scaffolds and building crews seem to be everywhere. Downtown office spaces are a tick away from being 100 percent filled.

After four years of one of the worst economic recessions since the Great Depression, the business climate seems to be improving.
