SMTX 4 All, the City of San Marcos’ workforce housing strategic initiative, held a community conversation Monday night at the public library.
Residents heard a presentation from city planning manager Abby Gillfillan about SMTX 4 All’s research on housing needs in San Marcos, and about the initial draft of the city’s strategic housing action plan. Additionally, attendees had table discussions with city staff and members of the city’s workforce housing task force. Gillfillan said these events are important to help receive feedback from the community as the task force continues to work on its action plan.
“(These conversations) are really important because a lot of what this is about is understanding this really complex issue of housing,” Gillfillan said. “You can’t understand it if you’re not having this conversation in the community.”
