By Todd Purcell, Mayor of Dripping Springs
I’ve lived in Dripping Springs much of my life. It’s my home. My kids have grown up here; my family planted roots on Onion Creek decades ago. I am fiercely protective of our city and our natural resources.
I also have the privilege of serving as mayor, a job I take very seriously. We are a tight-knit community, but one that is growing rapidly. With that growth comes significant responsibility and the need to make difficult decisions. Hays County’s population has increased by 60 percent in the last 10 years. Substantial development is already underway in the area with more anticipated. Major employers are moving to our community bringing quality jobs and substantial growth in tax base for the City.
