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.

Holiday songs filled the air of the LBJ Museum at the annual holiday program, and a special guest made a visit too.

A Capella Unlimited, an award-winning singing group, graced the audience with expert harmonies and Old Saint Nick came to hear Christmas wishes. San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson kicked off the season by lightning the Christmas tree before a festive passage from Lady Bird Johnson’s journal was shared.

A Swing and a Mission: Entrepreneur opens San Marcos’ first virtual golf simulator

The grass is always green at the new indoor golf simulator Swing Station. Rain or shine the course is ready for golfers of all skill levels. This new entertainment option is the first of its kind in San Marcos.

Emerging technologies allow golfers a place to practice and improve their game with state of the art cameras that capture every angle of the club and the speed of the swing. Golfers have a new haven at 1900 I-35 N. Frontage Road, but the fun isn’t limited to those interested in tee time. The simulator offers dozens of games from football and soccer to even zombie dodgeball, creating a space that is fun for all age

Happy Howl-idays!

"Dear Santa Paws, thank you for unleashing a paws-itively good time for all the good boys and girls at The Tap Room and The Porch. I got to pose with my mom Jazmin Vasquez while we wore fetching Christmas antlers.
Santa smelled like cookies and I met many new puppy pals. We raised funds for my friends at the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter who deserve a treat! Check out the article on the Daily Record site for more photos and the inside scoop." -Zero

The Workforce Industry Council is an event that gave a peek behind the curtain of what education looks like the center. It involved a tour of the classrooms and allowed professionals to interact with the teachers, both gathering information and sharing industry techniques.

Solidarity not Charity: The Hays Free Fridge Project helps feed neighbors and eliminate food waste

Hunger in Hays is a reality for far too many people. Governmental assistance uncertainty, inflation and high demand at local food banks are all factors families must face when providing for their loved ones. In the darkest times it takes others to shine a light and reach out a hand.

The team behind Community Centered and Squared does just that, providing resources for their neighbors most in need. The group has hosted workshops on growing food, mending clothes and even community potlucks. Recently they have celebrated their growth by establishing a second community fridge as part of their Hays Free Fridge Project.
