Dwyer Realty Companies was recently asked to attend a series of meetings between the City of Manor and area developers that have master-planned developments south of the City of Manor. The areas of development actually fell within the City of Austin’s ETJ and outside of the City of Manor’s purview, but Manor saw a problem in the tall grass and they repeatedly called the matter to point. A series of spirited meetings and notices culminated to a coordinative effort and outreach to CAMPO (Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization) on July 2nd.To quote Joe Cantalupo, the Executive Director of CAMPO following our initiating meeting on July 2nd:
“I wanted to thank you all for looking at the transportation issues in and around Manor as a group. We need to be doing more large area and regional planning if we want to continue to grow efficiently and effectively; your desire to work cooperatively with each other and with your local governments is a huge step forward toward that. Thanks for giving regional planning a shot and for looking to CAMPO to help bring this all together.”
Dwyer Realty is hopeful that through the combined and coordinated efforts of the public and private sectors, an implemented Regional Transportation Plan can be created, with real world implementation metrics, that support the needs of our growing community. The Greater Manor area and the DDZ of the City of Austin have been on hold of recent due to the economy, but indicators show that trend in on the change. We plan on being at the front, leading our partnerships and developments to take advantage of the market when it does turn.
