“As I wrap up my third term on the Bandera City Council, I think back on the many ways the Hill Country Alliance made me a better elected official and leader, through its information resources and partnership.
Before attending a workshop hosted by HCA, I’d never given much thought to light pollution or night skies preservation. I was inspired by the passion and optimism of the HCA staff and quickly became acquainted with the full breadth of HCA’s focus in our region. From economic development, infrastructure repair, low-impact development, riparian restoration, and land use planning, HCA helped me cultivate solutions and create a more resilient future for my community.
Through my connection to HCA, Bandera’s new vision includes:
- Protecting the riverside area along the Medina River in our city park;
- A new outdoor lighting ordinance that will protect our view of the night sky;
- A $2 million grant to improve our city’s aging stormwater infrastructure, and;
- New ideas for working with developers in our rural community.
I know these actions will add value for decades and would not have been possible without HCA.” ~Rebeca Gibson
