La Cima Public Improvement Districts renew debate over Edwards Aquifer

Nearly every seat was filled inside the Hays County Historic Courthouse Tuesday as residents took turns speaking out against La Cima’s petitions to create two Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) on approximately 1,005 acres of land.

More than 50 visitors had submitted their written comments on the proposal, and several more stepped up to the podium, imploring commissioners to delay their vote.

“It is hard to get people to come to the meetings; everyone here knows that,” one speaker said. “If you have this many people here on a Tuesday at nine in the morning, this is something people care about.”
