HAYS COUNTY
Hays County residents can find out more about the proposed county road bonds on their ballot at one last in-person open house event in Buda.
This come-and-go event will be held in the Kunkel Room at Historic Buda Elementary’s Upper Campus (300 San Marcos St.) from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
The Buda open house is the final in-person open house after meetings in Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos and Wimberley earlier in the month, as well as an ongoing online open house at hayscountybonds.com.
“The county initially scheduled meetings in each precinct, but we added a meeting in Buda because we want to make sure each population center has an opportunity to look at the Proposition A transportation projects and understand what’s on their ballot before Election Day,” said Precinct 4 Commissioner Walt Smith.
Attendees will have an opportunity to view details about individual road projects, learn about the potential tax impact, see where and how they can vote and ask questions.
In Aug. of this year, the Hays County Commissioners Court called a $440 million bond election, which seeks voter approval for funding for critical transportation projects that are designed to decrease congestion and improve overall safety and mobility. The bond package focuses on projects already in the planning process to ensure the continuity of projects and includes shovel-ready projects. The selected projects will address substandard roadways to improve safety and increase capacity. As one of the fastest-growing counties, Hays County aims to increase commuter safety, mitigate congestion and create regional connectivity.
