San Marcos City Councilmember Maxfield Baker told a crowd gathered at City Hall that a recent economic incentive deal to bring a film production studio to town will be reconsidered.
Baker said San Marcos City Councilmembers Saul Gonzales and Alyssa Garza, who both approved the original deal with Hill Country Studios, have decided to bring the economic incentive back to council during the July 5 meeting.
“It literally warms the bottom of my heart to see people show up for such an important issue and to validate the things that I was saying up there that night,” said Baker, who was the sole councilmember to vote against the economic incentive. “What I want to share with you is the great news. There’s a funky provision in politics where we can reconsider the item. That can only be brought forward by councilmembers that voted in the affirmative … So, you all were a part of that — writing in, reaching out to your friends, reaching out to news outlets, all of that was impactful to bring us here to this moment.”
