Another Nail
The $1.6M building permit taken out last week was for a new mini-storage on the Lake Road. The project is going to be constructed in compliance with the masonry ordinance that was passed back in April. How can this be? The Growth At all Costs crowd, here-to-forward now known as the GAC, passionately prophesied that the ordinance was going to kill commercial development in Temple. The 6-minute video below dispels one of the more intellectually dishonest arguments used by the GAC. They argued that the ordinance would make new construction too expensive thus killing our growth prospects. It is interesting to me that in all of the debate over this ordinance nobody ever mentioned the Stucco Tech product. I wonder why?
