View this email in your browser November Update Thank you for signing up to learn more about Stop Fitzhugh Concert Venue. The proposed 5,000-seat outdoor concert and entertainment venue has the potential to harm Barton Creek, bring traffic, noise and light pollution to nearby communities. Concert venue update The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has not yet issued comments about the wastewater permit based on the January 29 community meeting. We will alert members as soon as we receive any news. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join our coalition to stay up to date. 2 Years of Milestones Time sure does fly when you’re on a mission! Thanks to the hard work and dedication of all our supporters, we’ve achieved countless milestones. Whether you attended the coalition kick-off in November of 2022, participated in TCEQ public meetings to voice your concerns about the wastewater permits or signed our petition to advocate for road safety on Fitzhugh Road, just know we couldn’t have made it this far without you! Petition Update One year and 2,659 signatures later, we are thrilled to announce that the Petition to Stop Fitzhugh Concert Venue: Road Safety Audit & Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) has come to a close.   We were able to advocate for a Fitzhugh Road Safety Study that addressed topics beyond the developer Blizexas’ initial TIA report. Thanks to citizen input, Hays County amended the bond language to focus on much-needed safety improvements to Fitzhugh Road rather than expansion.   The work is far from over, but please join us in celebrating this milestone for the cause. Thankful for our Partners Stop Fitzhugh Concert Venue owes so much of our success to the many partners who continue to help ensure the happiness and safety of the community. This Thanksgiving, we would like to give a special thank you to those partners for all their hard work:   ● Fitzhugh Neighbors ● Hays County Friends of the Night Sky ● Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance (GEAA) ● Save Barton Creek Association ● Save Our Springs ● Shield Ranch ● The Nature Conservancy Texas ● Thundering Paws ● Travis Audubon If you know of an organization that would be a great fit to help us push our mission forward, email us at in...@stopfitzhughconcertvenue.com.
