Mayoral Candidates Proposes to Control Growth

"Larry Brundidge wants to add three propositions to the ballot for the May 2, city election.Wilco Sun

1. a moratorium on construction for 16 months 

2. prohibition of airport alterations

3. prohibition of a structure at Sixth and Main streets

He wants to start with a moratorium on new residential, commercial and industrial construction for 16 months starting February 1, 2021, which he said is meant to avoid a treated water crisis. This would also prohibit applications for rezoning, plat adjustments, annexations, municipal utility districts, planned development projects and all other administrative procedures.

Mr. Brundidge’s next petition asks that the city be prohibited from altering the Georgetown Municipal Airport by:

1. increasing the number of runways

2. increasing the length of any existing runways

3. acquiring any property, either through negotiated purchase or eminent domain proceedings, to enlarge the area of the airport

4. enlarging existing structures in the air traffic control airport administration and any other function of airport operation.

Finally, he wants to stop the city from building a structure or selling its property at Sixth and Main streets."
