The national home builder rescinded its application from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and their plan to build an 1100-home neighborhood over just 580 acres. Comfort residents pushed backed when they learned the project would have dumped 600,000 gallons of treated sewer water into local creeks, which would flow directly into the Trinity aquifer.  Power to the people. 

If one of your resolutions this new year was to volunteer more, City of Boerne has some ideas.  Take advantage of your wellness by utilizing our beautiful Boerne parks and trails, or sign up for a league through Boerne Parks and Rec. Get a library card and start that book you’ve been meaning to, or rent a movie! And get involved in local government by witnessing a City Council meeting…the first meeting of 2026 is next Tuesday.
