Kendall County Development: The Truth About Water & Zoning

Show Notes

Is the Texas Hill Country growing too fast? Kendall County Commissioner Chad Carpenter breaks down the truth about water rights, Boerne development, and the future of property ownership in Texas. The battle between large-scale development and local communities is heating up. In this interview, we go beyond party politics to discuss what actually impacts your daily life: Water Crisis: The reality of groundwater management and availability. Infrastructure: How rapid growth is straining roads and emergency services. Property Rights: The tension between private land use and government regulation. Energy: The rise of battery storage facilities in rural areas. Commissioner Carpenter explains how the commissioners court really works, how state legislation overrides local control, and why your vote in the primary election is the most powerful tool you have.
