Schertz moves forward with Neighborhood Empowerment Zone to aid Main Street area
SCHERTZ City Council on Aug. 23 approved a resolution to create a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone for the Main Street area. According to Assistant City Man- ager Brian James, creating the zone gives the council the basis and justi cation for waiving fees for businesses coming into the area. “Main Street has the added bur- den of it [being] a redevelopment e ort, which tends to come with more cost. Often the infrastructure is subsidized,” James said. “There are materials that are not used today; there is more replacement required. We have the ood plain issues as well.” Waiving fees would help assist business owners with getting started on Main Street without the concern of extra expenditures. “Those small business owners don’t necessarily have the same level of funding, and when they get
hit with an extra couple hundred bucks in a [water of utility] tap fee or an extra couple thousand dollars in sewer impact fees, it can be problematic,” James said. Which fees will be waived will be discussed at a future meeting. Council also requested that sta look at forming another empower- ment zone along FM 78.
