Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Seguin public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tyson Foods Tax Abatement Continuity
A housekeeping letter agreement confirms Tyson Foods' internal corporate restructuring doesn't break its tax abatement agreement with Seguin — protecting an existing economic development deal.
ETJ Release for Karen Alden Properties
Two Guadalupe County properties owned by Karen Alden were released from Seguin's extraterritorial jurisdiction at the owner's request.
TSTC Future Campus Project
The board was scheduled to privately discuss the TSTC Future Campus Project, including possible incentive offers, with possible open-session action to follow. Any deal could shape technical education and job opportunities in Seguin. No outcome is on record.
Manufacturing workforce turnover study
The SEDC was set to consider partnering with Jobs for the Future on a study of manufacturing roles turnover — a look at why local manufacturing workers leave jobs, which affects whether Seguin can keep and grow industrial employers. No outcome is on record.
Growth and northside infrastructure
Council Member Lievens argued the city should embrace, not just manage, its growth — pointing to Rudeloff Phase 1's completion, the coming Phase 2, Cordoba Road, a new Fire Station No. 4, a northside park, and new retail easing long drives to H-E-B.
Standalone parking lot at 601 East Gonzales
A small commercial lot at the corner of San Marcos and East Gonzales will become a six-space parking lot to support an office being opened in the house next door. The lot must stay linked to that office even if the property changes hands.
The Nolte Project Downtown Redevelopment
The city signed a milestone-based development agreement with GFNT-Seguin, LLC to redevelop the city-owned block downtown, with firm deadlines for designs, financial models, and a purchase agreement — and clear exit ramps if the numbers don't work. Parking remains the big open question.
