A rally is scheduled for JUNE 7th at Comfort Park. Join us as we advocate to our legislators that we are dedicated to preserving the quality of life in Texas Hill Country.

The Comfort 590 project, known as the Lennar development, has applied for a wastewater permit to dump 600,000 gallons a day into Comfort’s waterways. We oppose wastewater dumping. We oppose high-density development requiring as many water taps as all of Comfort has today. We do not oppose responsible development, but we must find a way to SLOW THE ROLL.

Lennar has targeted vulnerable areas in the Texas Hill Country, including Grey Forest with 2,900 homes and daily discharge of 1,000,000 gallons, and Broken Cedar Ranch in Comal County with daily discharge of 600,000 gallons. Public attention is crucial to persuading Lennar to reconsider their plans. Grey Forest’s rally in February gained positive media coverage. Comfort Neighbors aims to build on that momentum with a rally at Comfort Park on Saturday, June 7 called CELEBRATE COMFORT!

The park grounds will be open from 9 AM to NOON and will feature information booths, native plants, rain catchment, kid games, etc. Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, Hill Country Alliance, Upper Guadalupe River Authority and many more will be there to share information. Mid-morning will be a PROTECT OUR WATER news conference hosted by Kendall County Commissioner Chad Carpenter.
