The San Marcos CISD School Board voted to postpone the vote on the possible sale of property that shares a lot with a historic Hispanic culture center at the Aug. 18 meeting. Centro Cultural Hispano De San Marcos is a community center that focuses on the preservation, development, promotion and celebration of the Hispanic arts, culture, heritage and values through educational programming.
During a recent Hays County Commissioners Court the court directed its legal team to negotiate a contract with the city of San Marcos to purchase the land, stating the county would contribute $500,000 if the contract is approved. As of the Aug. 18 school board meeting no bids have been received from the county or city.
During public comment, President and Founder of Simplecity Design Matt Lewis spoke on behalf of his company and Aponte Development requesting the board to accept their bid for the sale of the property next to Centro.
