LCRA volunteers help beautify Downtown San Marcos

The Lower Colorado River Authority selected the City of San Marcos as a recipient of its Steps Forward Day program for the third consecutive year. 

The LCRA’s annual program encourages its employees to give back by completing service projects in communities across the state.

LCRA volunteers spent hours painting the train pavilion on South Edward Gary Street on April 9. They also planted landscaping in the area, including native grasses and pollinator garden species. The LCRA volunteers were joined by members of City staff, including employees from San Marcos Electric Utility, Resource Recovery, Community Enhancement, Keep San Marcos Beautiful, Parks and Recreation, Urban Forestry and Main Street.
