The San Marcos City Council chose to send a letter of support for the nomination submitted by the nonprofit Preservation Texas to the Texas Historical Commission for the addition of Cape’s Dam and Millrace to the National Register of Historic Places. Sam Aguirre, the city attorney, made clear that if the designation were awarded it would carry more political than legal weight when it came to whether or not the dam could be removed. It could still be removed in the future.

Local artist adds inspiring sculptures to Seton Hospitals

Healing can take many forms, from medicine to meditation, and many seek relief at local hospitals such as Ascension Seton Hays. Through the sterile doors, patients find more than just doctors and staff with a mission to heal, they find inspiration and peace in the artwork that hangs on the walls and decorates the foyers.

Medical staff are dedicated to helping in the healing process but Seton administration is as well and knows the power of creativity, forming a close relationship with local artist Joshua Farrell to transform the facilities into artistic healing havens.

DATA CENTER DEJA VU: Maberry data center returns to planning and zoning for second attempt at rezoning

After failing to receive the supermajority vote needed during the Aug. 19 City Council meeting, the developers for the proposed Highlander SM One Data Center are back at Planning and Zoning for a second attempt at rezoning the nearly 200-acre property at Francis Harris Lane.

The request to amend the Preferred Scenario Map from “conservation/ cluster” to “commercial/ employment low” was originally denied in the Mar. 25 Planning and Zoning meeting with a 6-to-1 vote against rezoning. In October, the applicant submitted their agenda item for a new Preferred Scenario Map where the nature of the request was the same. The Planning and Zoning commission will hold a public hearing on Jan. 13 to vote on the item before it heads to City Council for a first reading on Feb. 17.
