The Hushton Downtown Development Authority announced it will continue accepting applications for an open board seat and will review applications in January. The board noted that 2026 is an election year and said that adds complexity to the timing for appointments.

The DDA scheduled required training for new members on Monday, Sept. 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and said its next regular meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 2 at 9 a.m. The board also noted a GMA retreat scheduled for Friday, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the DDA described the retreat as a separate event for all members.

At the start of the meeting a motion was made to move into executive session to discuss personnel and real estate matters. The transcript begins with the motion: “I would I'd like to make a motion to go into the executive session for personnel and real estate team.” The board recessed and later returned to open session; a member then moved to reconvene the board meeting and the chair said, “All in favor? Aye. Thank you so much for your patience. We are gonna go on to our business items now.”

The meeting closed with a motion to adjourn after the executive session items were handled. The transcript does not record the content of the executive session, consistent with standard practice when discussing personnel or real estate, nor does it record any formal closed-session votes or outcomes in the public transcript.
