What a difference 15 years can make. While Texas Lehigh Cement Co. and CFAN are still ranked first and second in the value of properties in Hays CISD, with PEC dropping one spot to fourth place in 15 years, most of the properties paying a large portion of the taxes for local schools were not even built – nor were they in the planning stages – 15 years ago.
Some of the properties that were paying large taxes in 1998 have either gone out of business, sold off portions of their land holdings (thus dropping their property values), or simply been outpaced by larger construction projects in recent years.
