The influx of growth across the Dripping Springs area could push the Hays County Emergency Services District No. 1 to potentially look at increasing its sales tax rate.

Such a determination was reached after the ESD 1 commissioners approved its budget for fiscal year 2018. But according to a district press release, ESD 1 must bring in more revenue in the coming years to keep up with the growth.

The approximately $1.8 million budget includes $1.059 million for EMS staffing and supplies.
