HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM HEATHER: In this edition, Reporter Zara Flores covers a story related to job openings, increases in cost of goods and services, competitive wages, and other components affecting our retail and food service industries. Next month is our annual Health Care Edition. Email sbkads@communityimpact.com for advertising inquiries. Heather Demere, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM ERIC: The San Marcos Air, Rail & Transportation Terminal—now known as AXIS Logistics Park—development agreement was once again postponed by City Council to July 3. The makings and scope of the large industrial hub have changed over time since planning began in 2016 and sparked a lot of residential concerns (see Page 14). In this edition we also have a feature on the Assemblage Contemporary Craftsman Gallery and the various types of jewelry, pottery and mixed-media works it showcases in Buda (see Page 17). Eric Weilbacher, EDITOR
CORRECTION: Volume 12, Issue 12 On Page 9, Growler Express is the name of the business in Buda that celebrated its fifth anniversary.
