Guadalupe County adopts 2026 Major Thoroughfare Plan after public hearing

The court opened a public hearing on the county's Major Thoroughfare Plan and, after public comment and commissioner discussion, voted to adopt the 2026 plan. Commissioners praised consultant and staff outreach across precincts; one public commenter, Mr. Black (speaker 3), urged frequent review of the living document and confirmed that the right‑of‑way profiles were included in the materials to be voted on.

Commissioners said the plan intends to reserve right‑of‑way and inform long‑range transportation decisions—"it's not that the bulldozers are going to start tomorrow," one commissioner said—while noting the need to revisit the plan more often as growth continues. The adoption was unanimous on the record.
