Buda groups oppose more hotels

Too much, too soon is the message from Buda business leaders and city officials as they worry an influx of recent hotel openings could create a negative economic impact for the city.

J.R. Gonzales, Buda Area Chamber of Commerce managing director, said a team effort involving the Buda Economic Development Corpration (EDC), Main Street Program and the chamber is needed to help encourage people to visit Buda.

“We need more people staying in hotels and spending money here, as opposed to spending money in Austin,” Gonzales said.
