3 issues in budget with medium priority
Data Center Tax Policy
Governor Abbott is looking to scrap tax breaks for data centers, which could completely change how Waco lures tech companies to town. It’s a major shift that might force local leaders to rethink how they balance business growth with city revenue.
Museum Infrastructure Funding
Waco just landed $10 million in state funding to give the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum a much-needed facelift. This project aims to modernize the aging landmark and boost the city's appeal as a top-tier tourist destination.
County Budget Revenue
McLennan County just landed a record-breaking $380,000 from the 1998 tobacco settlement. It’s a nice chunk of change that gives the county some extra breathing room for upcoming projects.
