Office Rezoning at 501-511 Herring Avenue
Get ready for new neighbors, Waco! The city just approved a rezoning that will allow for a new development with 63 homes in East Waco. This means more housing options are on the way.
Surveillance Technology Policy
Waco is caught in a tug-of-war over Flock license-plate cameras, with some residents so fed up with the surveillance that they’re actually vandalizing the equipment. It’s a classic debate: are these cameras keeping our streets safer, or are they just turning our city into a digital fishbowl?
Data Center Zoning
Waco's planning commission is considering new rules for data centers, which could mean they won't be allowed everywhere automatically. Some residents are concerned about how these massive facilities might impact our water and environment.
