The discovery of an endangered bird on the site of a proposed Driftwood-area wedding venue could lead to a several-month postponement of the project.
Residents of the Goldenwood, Radiance and Goldenwood West neighborhoods, which surround the site of the Mark Black Wedding Venue, submitted a formal complaint to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), claiming the project could impact the endangered golden-cheeked warbler. One of the warbler’s nesting sites sits on the 64-acre plot of land where the wedding venue will be located.
According to a USFWS law enforcement officer, the review was approved and certified by the federal agency; Mark Black, owner of the venue, has been contacted about the issue.
