Quick and easy week! Some little development projects, a transit workshop, and Utility Assistance update.
Hours 0:00 – 1:35: Some new apartments on North LBJ, La Cima is growing, and a new Habitat for Humanity duplex is coming
Bonus! 3 pm workshops: Two workshops. First, on transit: the city partners with Texas State to coordinate bus systems. Second, the Utility Assistance Program: it runs much more smoothly than it used to, but it runs out of money faster.
Election Notes:
I’ll publish my recommendations next Sunday, October 18th!
Early voting starts on the 19th.
Upcoming events:
Possibly a Mayoral Forum hosted by San Marcos Area Dems at their October meeting? (They really make it extremely hard to find any official info published online. Facebook page here.)
October meeting: Thursday, October 15th, 6 pm? or 6:30?
