City Manager outlines upcoming events and local development activity
Summary
The City Manager announced the State of McGregor event, a Waco Chamber luncheon, and multiple local development projects — Avalon Crossing, McGregor Trails, Bluebonnet Meadows Village — and said the old water plant is under contract to another entity.
At the Aug. 4 council meeting the City Manager provided announcements about upcoming civic events and local development activity. The State of McGregor presentation is scheduled for Thursday, and the City Manager reminded council about the Waco Chamber midyear luncheon and other state‑ and county‑level events in early September.
On development, the City Manager reported that residential project Avalon Crossing is moving quickly and that engineering work is under way. He said McGregor Trails and work on Johnson Drive are proceeding, and that Bluebonnet Meadows Village (at the former school site identified in the meeting) is beginning to move forward. The manager also said the old city water plant is "now officially under contract" and that it has been placed under contract to another entity; he described the sale as likely to be a future sales‑tax generator for the city.
No formal council action was taken on any of the announced projects during the meeting; the items were presented as informational updates.
Ending: The manager asked council members to keep event dates separate and said he would send calendar invites for upcoming presentations.
