A new Recreational Vehicle Park is slated to begin construction soon on the north side of Woodcreek after the Woodcreek City Council gave the go ahead for the city to negotiate a development agreement during its May meeting. 
“We want to bring with us something that is useful and something helpful, and something the people will like,” Robert Brooks, who proposed the RV Park, said. “We call it an RV park, but it is more of a resort. It is going to be small, responsive, and owner operated.”

Water Quality on table for Woodcreek

Submitted by Wimberley1 on
The CARD Sterring Committee
 
Editor’s Note: This is an editorial submitted by the Citizens Alliance for Responsible Development on Woodcreek’s upcoming vote on the Water Quality Ordinance.
 
Woodcreek City Council makes a very important decision on June 11. It has been asked to amend Woodcreek’s Water Quality Ordinance to increase the percentage of impervious cover allowed for future development.  In other words, it is being asked to decrease the percentage of open ground required in new construction.
This is an important decision for the people of Woodcreek, and Citizens Alliance for Responsible Development agrees the decision should have full Woodcreek citizen input. After all, Woodcreek water comes from the Trinity aquifer.

Endangered species and their habitats in the Edwards Aquifer region have a fighting chance to weather the historic drought gripping the state thanks to innovative environmental programs set in motion in 2012 through a regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP).
In late 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service brought together stakeholders from throughout the Edwards Region to develop a plan to protect federally listed endangered species dependent on the Edwards Aquifer. The plan was approved in 2012, and program implementation quickly followed.

Those looking for a sip of something a little stronger on Memorial Day had to drive a little farther than normal.
