The following is a menu of strategies that can be activated to support communities, organizations and advocates, seeking a resilient future.
Located in Kendall County, the fifth fastest-growing county in the United States, Boerne has attracted many new residents, dramatically increasing its population and adding to developmental pressures. The area’s existing water supply, transportation network, infrastructure systems, and natural environment are burdened like never before. Boerne is not alone in the Hill Country as it faces these external shocks and stressors – but it is singularly catalytic in how it is addressing them.
The Cibolo’s vision for Boerne is a sustainable, resilient community that prioritizes conservation, community, economic strategy, and quality of life. For over 30 years, the Cibolo has deepened its community’s connection to its land and water and has become a model of conservation education throughout the state and beyond. At the same time, it strives to make its hometown of Boerne and Kendall County into a model for smart growth in the Texas Hill Country.
