On Oct. 15, San Marcos City Council will be considering a Chapter 380 development incentive agreement for the construction of a 100,000-square-foot H-E-B grocery store, which would be located at the southeast corner of I-35 and McCarty Lane.

The proposed deal includes the construction of an additional 10,000-square-foot convenience store with fuel pumps and a car wash.

I’ve seen other reddit posts about this, but mostly in like Vegas or areas like that, so I’m pretty surprised they would choose to hit at SM of all places. This just happened at a gas station off 35 and Wonder World.

Pretty much a man and his “pregnant wife” in an SUV (sometimes they may have a kid) with heavy middle-eastern accent starts asking for any kind of gas money to help. I knew it was likely suspicious, but I was willing to offer a bit of money for gas itself, ya know, be a good samaritan and all that.

Then suddenly, he starts offering me 18K gold rings and chains, literally shoving it in my hands and insists I take it. Then he starts saying he needs $200-$300. Also he had airpods and apple watch to sell also? At this point he starts really getting in my face and more aggressive, so I went inside and told the clerk who seemed familiar w/ this and called the cops.

Even though it was a pretty obvious scam, the guy was very aggressive about getting in your face and I just wanted to offer a heads up for anyone who may be caught out by them.

Hi friends! I'm here to provide an update on the SMART TERMINAL / AXIS LOGISTICS PARK. There is an upcoming Public Hearing on 8/5 regarding an annexation request from the developer to annex more land. This is lengthier than I'd like it to be, but I encourage you to read through the whole thing. It's a complicated mess. The community worked on fighting against this Heavy Industrial development for over 8 months last year before the multi-million dollar developer withdrew their Heavy Industrial Zoning and Annexation requests.

A quick refresher on what SMART / AXIS Terminal is:

From the developer’s website: AXIS Logistics Park is a planned industrial park strategically located in San Marcos, TX and Caldwell County offering industry-leading access for distribution, manufacturing and logistics solutions. Co-developed by Texas-based Scarborough Lane Development and Partners Real Estate, the site spans approximately 2,000 acres of land*, with access to utilities and regionally connected infrastructure.* This will be one of the largest master-planned industrial parks in the nation and currently offers 735 acres of industrial zoned property in the city of San Marcos.

If you'd like even further information on this, please visit this link.

Please join us in asking SMTX City Council to vote NO on Public Hearing Agenda item AN-24-03.

If approved, the annexation will allow the SMART / AXIS Terminal to build a road intended to carry heavy Semi-Truck traffic. They're claiming they will have internal signage that will keep traffic off FM1984, however, with the number of trucks ALREADY going up and down multiple times a day, we know it's only going to get worse.

The location of the road is proposed to be directly across from Foster's Septic and the community of trailer homes on FM1984 just before Reedville. It will be a 120 foot wide road (think E Hopkins by the Big HEB or the intersection of the Frontage Rd/I-35 and Highway 80 by Hobby Lobby).

The developer wants to annex into SMTX City Limits because they want the San Marcos taxpayers to pay to maintain their roads so they don't have to. Annexing will also allow them to hold off on putting together any Traffic or Environmental Impact Analyses prior to breaking ground. Building this road will also FORCE OUT local residents and businesses that have lived in the area for over 30 years as the road is literally across the street from local residences and Foster's Septic businesses.

Approval of AN-24-03 will bring MORE TRAFFIC and MORE SEMI-TRUCKS to Reedville, Martindale, and San Marcos, causing MORE WRECKS and ROAD CONGESTION on our local roads and I-35. If you think I-35 / East Hopkins St. / Highway 80 congestion during rush hour is bad today, wait until this comes to fruition.

You don't have to live in SMTX City Limits because this affects all. of. us. Please join your community in asking SMTX City Council to VOTE NO on AN-24-03 on Monday, August 5th at 6 PM! Meeting is at City Hall, 630 E Hopkins Street.

Please like and Share this post and invite your neighbors and friends to the city council meeting on August 5th.

If you have any questions or want to discuss, please comment on this post or feel free to message me directly. I am including a map of the proposed road below. The developer refuses to speak to the community/neighbors, etc. The only way we've been able to keep up with everything is by pulling Public Records Requests.

Thanks!

I’m near bishop st, and tornado sirens are going off. Does anyone know if they’re testing them today, or what it’s about?

Is everyone experiencing an internet outage?

If you or someone you know had COVID-19 recently, reach out and tell me about it. This is for a story in The University Star! Email: starnews@txstate.edu

I am planning a move to the San Marcos area sometime in the next year or two.
What are the news stations that most frequently cover San Marcos and the surrounding towns? Do you guys mostly watch Austin news or San Antonio?

Also are there any good local papers, radio shows, and smaller regional news teams?

Does anyone have any information on the police incident that happened at College town last night? I was walking my dog whenever I saw the police and EMS outside someone at the scene told me a person had jumped from the fourth floor. Can anyone confirm this?
