Public Input Session Today at the Wilco Courthouse

We gathered at the Courthouse in small groups with the elected officials garnering their thoughts about the future of the Williams Tract. These meetings were at 9:00, 9:40 and 10:30.

Some highlights of our input sessions:

9:00 Commissioner Birkman really liked the idea of unprogrammed large open spaces for the community to experience the outdoors, run and play... something many of her constiuents do not have access to in their home environment.

9:40 Commissioner Long asked us to look at emergency access and egress. Commissioner Morrison suggested echoing the existing ranch improvements in the new construction materials and styles.

10:30 Judge Dan Gattis said he wanted a wilderness experience with camping and trails that make you realize you are in the woods. He cautioned us to not over do it for two reasons: to protect the existing natural resources and to protect the county coffers.

Our open house meetings are at 11:30 to 1:30 and 6:00 to 8:00. Please come!

Site Information Gathering Meeting

BWM Group, Williamson County, and local and state park professionals met on site to discuss the dos and don'ts and brainstormed about the 1,011 acre park. It was a great session. BWM was fortunate to receive a tremendous amount of valuable information from the experts for the park master plan. Click here to see today's site visit photos. The comments and more photographs will follow in a subsequent posting.
