The cost, seller and purpose of a proposed 6.7-acre Gruene Road purchase are absent from the public agenda for an Aug. 13 New Braunfels economic development meeting.
The final agenda identifies the acreage and the road, but it does not give a street address, seller, purchase price or intended use. It also describes the item as a presentation and discussion, not as a scheduled vote to approve the acquisition.
That distinction matters for residents following growth in Gruene. The record establishes that a land expenditure is being proposed, but it does not establish that the corporation has agreed to buy the property, that terms have been settled or that any particular project will occupy the site.
What the Public Record Shows
The corporation will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, in the City Hall Council Chambers at 550 Landa St. The city’s meeting page lists the agenda as final and says minutes and action results are not yet available.
