TWO QUESTIONS: 1) i WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE RECYCLE GLASS. WHERE IS IT AT? ARE WE DISPOSING IT OR ARE WE STILL PAYING TO SEND IT TO WACO DUMP GROUINDS. IF THERE IS A MARKET FOR RECYCLED GLASS I WILL BRING IT THERE BUT IF THERE IS NOT, I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SENDING IT TO A WACO DUMP. A YES OR NO QUESTION! 2) WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS GOING IN I DO NOT SEE THE PLANNING OF PARKS IN THE AREAS. THE DEVELOPERS WERE TO PLAN A SITE FOR A PARK AREA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OR CONTRIBUTE TO A FUND THAT WOULD BUILD A PARK FOR THE AREAS. HAS THIS BE DONE, PLEASE CHECK ON THIS , I’VE BEEN WANTING TO ASK BRIAN . WITH ALL THE UNITS GOING IN WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO BUILD FIESTA DEL FREDERICKSBURG .
I still think we need to develop our own Glass Recycling Plant. Since there is a lack of facilities, other Texas municipalities could pay us to recycle. It would be a profit center for the city or county as well as an employer who pays benefits.
I agree with Jerry, we do need new parks and green areas.
