From Elgin Courier, April 15, 2009...
There was standing room only in the Bastrop County Commissioners Courtroom to hear the presentation given by Jim Carpenter of Carpenter & Associates of Austin, the developer of the proposed Central Texas Airport (CTA).
The special meeting was called to give Bastrop County residents some answers to the many questions about the 2,000 acres at the intersection of FM 1704 and FM 969 that would be transformed into an airport for quieter Stage 3 and 4 aircraft.

TXDOT dumps dead animals
From KXAN, February 6, 2009...
Roadkill piles up as burn ban stays in effect.
Elizabeth Blair discovered the animal dumping ground last Friday as she was driving on Highway 304 in Bastrop County. Buzzards flying over the area made her stop the car and get out. She discovered more than a dozen dead animal carcasses. Some had been freshly dumped and others were just bones.
"I think its wrong. I mean, you can't treat animals this way," Blair said shortly after making the discovery Friday.
An investigation has revealed the animals were dumped by Texas Department of Transportation road crews. The crews generally take dead animals they gather from area roads to the site and burn them, but a county wide burn ban has prevented that for the last several months and the animals have been piling up.

Developer backs out of major Bastrop project
From Austin Business Journal, December 19, 2008...
A tract in Bastrop long slated to hold more than 1 million square feet of retail may have a different future.
Houston-based Weingarten Realty, which in May optioned 147 acres at the corner of State Highway 71 and County Road 304, has backed out of its contract, landowner Tom Brundage said. The land is still on the market, but Brundage is not pursuing potential retail buyers in the near future.
