The Record’s online poll from Oct. 4-15 asked readers whether they think Cape’s Dam should be preserved.
The City of San Marcos will be presented with a conceptual proposal Oct. 15 during their work session regarding the restoration of Cape’s Dam. The Hays County Commissioners Court approved an agreement for a rendering showing what Cape’s Dam, the mill race and Stokes Park could look like in the future if the dam is restored.
The Historical Commission spent $5,187.50 of their operating budget on the creation of a conceptual master plan for the Cape’s Dam preservation project. The proposal includes illustrations depicting historical and ecological significance, as well as the economic and recreational importance of the dam and the mill race it creates.
