BUZZ AROUND TOWN
New Braunfels Ranks No. 2 Nationally For Growth And Affordability
A new study from MoneyLion ranked New Braunfels as the No. 2 fastest-growing and most affordable city in the United States. The report found the city has experienced 31.7% population growth over five years, while residents still maintain relatively strong leftover income after housing and living expenses. Texas dominated the national rankings overall, with 11 cities making the top 50 list.
New Braunfels Approves $285K Airport Infrastructure Project
The New Braunfels City Council approved a $285,457 engineering agreement for a taxiway rehabilitation project at New Braunfels National Airport. The project will focus on maintaining and repairing several taxiways to improve safety and extend the life of the airport’s infrastructure. About 95% of the project cost will be funded through a federal Airport Infrastructure Grant, with the remaining portion coming from the city’s airport fund.
City Considering New Tourism Public Improvement District
New Braunfels leaders are considering creating a Tourism Public Improvement District (TPID) to help fund destination marketing and tourism promotion. Under the proposal, hotels in the district would pay a small fee that would be reinvested into marketing the city to visitors. The City Council will review the proposal on March 23, with a final vote expected in April if the plan moves forward.
Terry Black’s Barbecue Breaks Ground In New Braunfels
Construction has begun on a new Terry Black’s Barbecue location in New Braunfels, transforming the former Los Cucos restaurant on E. Common Street into an approximately 8,000-square-foot smokehouse. The $5 million renovation will include a large pit house and two-story outdoor dining area. If construction stays on schedule, the highly anticipated barbecue spot could open later this summer.
Humane Society Launches “St. Pitty’s Day” Adoption Special
The Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area is running a “St. Pitty’s Day” adoption special throughout March. During the promotion, all pitbulls and pitbull mixes are available for adoption for just $17. Shelter staff hope the special helps more of these dogs find homes, as pitbulls are among the breeds that often stay the longest at shelters.
