San Marcos To Host 2nd Open House For My Historic SMTX Project

Staff Reports

On Monday, January 28, the City of San Marcos announced the date for the second Open House regarding the My Historic SMTX project on Feb. 4 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. 

The open house will provide resident an opportunity to give the city input on the project and will take place at the Dunbar Recreation Center, 801 West MLK Drive; in addition, the City of San Marcos Planning and Development services department will hold a historic photo roundup highlighting the City’s historic resources survey. 

According to the city, the consultants will give a presentation at 6 pm.

The City is conducting the survey to identify and document historic-age resources (50 years of age and older) and develop recommendations to help officials make decisions about historic resources for future planning and development initiatives.

Officials said, the open house will give residents an opportunity to be introduced to the project, meet the consultants and hear results from Phase 1 of the project which was completed in early January.

Additionally, attendees are encouraged to bring photographs or documents of historic-age properties to be scanned as part of a historic photo round-up.

Residents may share information on potential historic resources, view a map showing the phases, and view the project deliverables by visiting www.sanmarcostx.gov/myhistoricsmtx.
