Pecos RV park owner warns new ordinances threaten family's future and local community

During the December 12, 2024, Regular City Council Meeting in Pecos, Texas, a local business owner passionately addressed the council about the potential impact of new ordinances on his RV park, Pecosun RV. The owner shared his family's journey from Washington State to Pecos, highlighting how their travels inspired them to settle in the area.

He recounted their cross-country trip in 2007, which included a memorable stop along the Gulf of Mexico. This experience, combined with the welcoming atmosphere of Pecos—marked by billboards featuring Bible scriptures—led them to establish their business in the community.

The owner expressed deep concern that the proposed ordinances could adversely affect not only his family's future but also the futures of other local families. His heartfelt plea underscored the importance of considering the broader implications of regulatory changes on small businesses and the community's well-being.

As discussions continue, the council faces the challenge of balancing new regulations with the needs of local entrepreneurs and residents, ensuring that Pecos remains a welcoming place for families and businesses alike.
