at Hill Country Chamber Mixer
June 21, 2005 |
Tuesday,
June 21, was an informative evening for the Hill Country Chamber
of Commerce (HCCC) members. Guest speaker, Thomas H. Hornseth,
P.E. appointed County Engineer, presented a power point
presentation on current growth in the hill country area that
included GBRA’s water line servicing areas, highway frontage
limitations, the Alamo Area Regional Mobility Authority plans,
tax percentage allotments on highway funding, and different types
of approved sewage systems in the County.
Hornseth said growth is surging faster then ever
before, “There is a lot of growth and a lot of money
being attracted to our county.”
Tom Hornseth unveiled a great new internet software program that will be
online for the public to use in upcoming weeks, a geographical information
system. This program is a layered mapping system that will allow the users
to search for information regarding hydrograhy/flooding, topographic maps,
aerial photos, schools, flood planes, and Edwards’s Aquifer information

without
having to call the engineer’s office. Real Estate brokers,
developers, contractors and individuals will be able to save
hours of time by pulling up documents providing information that
they would normally have to obtain through telephone calls or
drives to the county courthouse. Hornseth encouraged people to
visit their website at www.cceo.org.
“It is a huge tool and it will help a lot of people out; you don’t
need to pay anything, you can just use it,” said Hornseth.
The Hill Country Chamber has been chartered as a regional business development
organization. Individuals and businesses interested in joining from now
through July 31 will have a unique opportunity to be designated as a Charter
Member. For information on joining the chamber, please call 830-438-2025.
