Possible second data center

FELPS building negotiations
The county voted to enter negotiations with the City of Floresville and FEDC over the FELPS building on South Highway 181, after discussing it in closed session.
Tax Abatement Policy Revision
The county's tax abatement policy — the rules for giving companies property tax breaks — expired on a two-year cycle and needed re-adoption. Residents used the hearing to press for shorter abatement terms, transparency about who owns the benefiting companies, and limits on foreign investment. The court adopted the revised policy, which fixes typos and extends coverage to proposed investment zones.
