The population of Hays County has grown by some 60,000 people since the original Hays County Transportation Plan was developed 10 years ago. Now, the Hays County Commissioners Court is seeking public input into the development of a new countywide, long-range transportation plan that will provide overall policy and project direction to guide the transportation future of Hays County. The first of a number of public meeting will be held Thursday, December 1, at the San Marcos Activity Center, 501 E. Hopkins Street, from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. The "come-and-go" workshop will enable residents to visit one-on-one with County representatives and the planning team members, participate in a survey and use maps to locate areas of concern in Hays County.
