Summit speakers focus on growth, mobility, planning

Attendees to Thursday’s third annual Kendall County Economic Summit heard a prevailing message from speaker after speaker: Growth is imminent.

A packed house at The Bevy Hotel listened as Boerne City Manager Ben Thatcher outlined the scope and depth of the administration’s “Rolling Ten Year Plan.” Thatcher emphasized the need for the program as Boerne continues to experience “historic growth,” currently housing more than 24,000 residents.

The city’s 10-year plan currently has 60 ongoing projects, 40 completed projects and 69 projects yet to begin. The goal for the 10-year plan, Thatcher said, is to consolidate all major planning documents for the city.
