City adds 45 acres, Silo Ranch moves forward

Annexation sets groundwork for hotel, further commercial development

City Council voted unanimously last week to expand Elgin’s boundaries along Texas 95 and set the stage for future development.

The approval Jan. 20 annexes 45 acres known as Silo Ranch into the city limits. The property is being developed by Cromwell Commercial Group, which owns two adjacent tracts along the Texas 95 North, and is part of a larger long-term development plan for construction directly off the highway, according to Development Services Director Beau Perry.
