Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Nacogdoches public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Airport Business Plan
The city is moving toward hiring a consultant to write a business plan that would make the airport financially self-sustaining and a stronger economic engine. The plan would tackle target customers, management structure, pricing, and how to prioritize the $302 million, 20-year Airport Layout Plan projects. A possible $150,000 price tag was floated in October.
A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport Runway Construction
The airport is undergoing major runway and taxiway rehabilitation backed by TxDOT funding and local bond dollars to ensure safe and modern facilities.
Downtown Economic Vitality and Business Inventory
Committee updates will cover the ongoing downtown business inventory to improve communication and track merchant needs.
Economic Development Fund Management
The city approved a Chapter 380 agreement with Icon Cinema to bring a movie theater back to 3801 North Street, providing tax rebates and $50,000 in upgrade reimbursements.
North Street Mobility Planning
Nacogdoches is putting a new fire station right inside a local park to help emergency crews get to you faster. It’s a major win for public safety, but it means you’ll have a little less green space to hang out in.
Housing Gap Analysis and Infrastructure Growth
Following SFA's affiliation with the UT System, Nacogdoches is seeing a surge in demand and site selector interest. To manage this growth, the city is exploring a housing gap analysis to assess housing supply and infrastructure needs, along with potential property transfers to the development corporation.
