Planning board down two, pushes forward on growth

BASTROP — Bastrop’s Planning and Zoning Commission covered a lot of ground during a brief but packed meeting May 29, including new housing projects, commercial growth and a call for new commissioners. 

Only five members attended the meeting, just enough to meet the requirement.

“Thank you for showing up, you barely made a quorum today,” said James Cowey, Bastrop’s director of development services.
