Dear Editor:
As former Mayors of the city of San Marcos, we are writing to express our support for the annexation and re-zoning of the 934-acre parcel of land on the east side of our city for the SMART Terminal (San Marcos Air, Rail and Truck Terminal). This employment center is located along Loop 110, (funded and underway by TXDOT) the Union Pacific Rail Line, and adjacent to the San Marcos Regional Airport.
We support this annexation and re-zoning with the utmost confidence that our new land development code, Code SMTX, along with our improved environmental and flood mitigation requirements will be administered and the proper development rules are applied and enforced. These will provide protections for the San Marcos River, our environment, water quality, as well as the property owners both upstream and downstream from the development.
