San Marcos residents filled the Price Center to provide their vision for the future of downtown.
The City of San Marcos hosted a community workshop on Wednesday, marking the beginning stages of its Downtown Area Plan. City Planning Manager Andrea Villalobos and Elly Schaefer, planner with MIG, spoke to the crowd about the new downtown plan before they were able to visit interactive stations where they could provide feedback about what they want to see in the downtown plan.
“We’re here to talk about downtown and why that’s important is because last time we talked about downtown was 2008,” Villalobos said. “So, about 15 year now was the last time we did a downtown master plan. So, we’ve seen a lot of change and we know downtown is important. It’s a unique part of our community and it’s very eclectic. With that brings both opportunities and challenges.”
