Planning commission votes to settle Parkside lawsuit and requires traffic, stormwater studies before preliminary review The commission voted 8–1 to accept a settlement resolving Century Communities’ challenge to the denied Parkside sketch plan; settlement sets aside the sketch‑plan denial, requires a full traffic study and H&H stormwater analysis to accompany any preliminary submission, and gives the developer one year to file a preliminary.

Wilson County's Planning Commission just voted 8-1 to settle a major lawsuit, paving the way for the Parkside development—but only if the developer can meet strict new requirements!

Peanuts & Brush Country This match-up brings us to the peanut fields south of San Antonio and the deep brush country of the Rio Grande Plains. Wilson County, home to Floresville, is a rapidly growing community rich in agriculture and political history. La Salle County, centered on Cotulla, is wild country: famous for trophy deer hunting and as the place where LBJ taught school. One is becoming a suburban haven; the other remains a rugged frontier for hunters and oilmen.

Peanut farmers in Floresville. Hunting guides in Cotulla. Different harvests, same Texas pride.
