Distinctive Charm Beyond Major Cities

Unlike high-growth communities nestled between major cities along the I-35 corridor, Boerne and Comfort stand out in Kendall County. The region is gaining attention not only for its proximity to San Antonio and Austin but for its unique appeal. Boerne’s economic development, separate from being sandwiched between two major cities, offers a fresh and promising perspective.

Strategic Initiatives and Collaborative Growth

Boerne’s economic trajectory is not just a result of geographical advantages. Initiatives like the alignment with the Greater San Antonio area and a regional recruitment strategy have led to tangible results. The collaborative approach has dispelled concerns about internal competition, fostering a more meaningful and cooperative environment for economic growth.

Infrastructure Needs and Future Prospects

While Boerne has seen successes, there are acknowledged needs for continued growth. The demand for more physical infrastructure to accommodate businesses is recognized, presenting an opportunity for investors. As the county’s economic development group actively pursues projects, Boerne’s potential as an attractive landing spot is poised for further enhancement.

Boerne’s emergence as an economic hot spot is a testament to its unique position and strategic collaborations. For potential investors and businesses, including those exploring opportunities in Boerne, Boehm Commercial Group stands ready as a knowledgeable and experienced partner. 

If you’re seeking insightful guidance and comprehensive support in navigating Boerne’s economic opportunities, Boehm Commercial Group is here for you. Contact us today to discover how our expertise can contribute to your success in this flourishing market.

Boerne Special Olympians Head to State Meet

We were thrilled to see Boerne Blaze, Boerne’s Special Olympics team, in the October 8th issue of the Boerne Star. This article showcases the amazing journey of the Boerne Blaze and their exceptional Special Olympian swimmers, including my daughter, Alexa Boehm, who are gearing up for the state meet next weekend.

Boerne Special Olympians Head to State Meet - When Jenny Cashion made the decision to get actively involved with the Boerne Blaze Special Olympics, the organization offered two competitive opportunities for its 35-40 members, bowling and track. While events were participatory, the level of strident competition was lacking. That was 2007, and Cashion knew she wanted better offerings for the Blaze and its athletes, including her son, Adam, 29, who has Down syndrome. “That wasn’t sufficient for Jenny,” said Paul Cashion, her husband. “She sought to make it more organized -- not to be just a ‘club,’ but to be inclusive.” Since Jenny became delegation head in 2007, sport offerings increased to seven, including bowling, swimming, indoor triathlon, basketball, cycling, tennis, and kayaking, with demonstration sports Top Golf, pickleball and disc golf. Cheer and dance are on their way, she said. Blaze participatory membership has nearly doubled, to about 70 athletes today.

The article states “Boerne Blaze swim team members competed in the Sept. 16 SOTX Area 20 swim meet in San Antonio and garnered 42 medals in the competition with five other teams. Nine Blaze swimmers – Alexa Boehm, Adam Cashion, Kylah Daniel, Elijah Draughn, Christopher Drollinger, Carley Fisk, Rebecca Stone, Jeff Walker and Ansley Wigger — advanced to the SOTX Fall Classic state swim meet Oct. 20-21 on the Texas A&M Campus in College Station.”

We can’t wait to cheer on Alexa and all the Boerne State Swimmers in College Station next weekend!

Texas 2nd Quarter Commercial Report

Texas A&M recently released their 2nd quarter commercial report. Below are some key take-aways from the report.

  • Texas employment growth on a year-over-year (YOY) basis, while slowing, continues to outpace expectations and long-term trends across industries and the big four Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).

 

  • Monthly employment has moderated some, and YOY results are expected to moderate further through 2023, moving closer to long-term trends.

 

  • Office vacancies remain high in major metropolitan areas, with only Houston seeing a decrease. Austin is expected to face increasing vacancy due to ongoing construction (5.6percent of existing inventory). The future of remote work, hybrid models, and corporate real estate changes is uncertain for mid-term office market trends.

 

  • Class A apartment vacancies in Texas remain low but are rising. Population growth and remote work demand are reducing vacancy rates, but an influx of permitted units in the last two years will add to the supply.

Alamodome Upgrades: Getting Ready for the 2025 NCAA Final Four

Alamodome Upgrades: Getting Ready for the 2025 NCAA Final Four – If you’re a sports enthusiast or a fan of college basketball, you’re in for a treat! San Antonio’s Alamodome is getting a massive makeover for the 2025 NCAA Final Four. With millions in upgrades and renovations, this iconic venue is set to shine brighter than ever before.

A Grand Transformation

The Alamodome, with its 64,000 seats, first opened its doors in 1993. Over the years, it has hosted numerous events, from college football games to concerts. However, to maintain its status as a premier sports and entertainment venue, it was time for some major improvements.

San Antonio City Council approved $30 million in contracts to modernize the Alamodome for the 2025 NCAA Final Four. The first contract, valued at $19.89 million, was awarded to Skanska USA. The contract entails adding 18 club-level suites, upgrading facilities, installing a new sound system, and incorporating a dazzling LED monitor. These enhancements will not only improve the fan experience but also attract more high-profile events to the city.

Structural Repairs and More

The second contract, awarded to Turner Construction at $9.16 million, focuses on essential structural repairs. This includes addressing issues with cables and masonry walls. The aim is to create an interior space that is free from columns and other obstructions, ensuring an unobstructed view for all spectators.

One notable feature is the Alamodome’s roof structural system, which incorporates stay cable bridge technology. This innovative design was inspected in 2019, and no structural deficiencies were found. Any remaining conditions are being diligently remedied to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees.

Countdown to 2025

Construction is set to begin in the fall, with completion scheduled for Spring of 2025, just in time for the highly anticipated NCAA Final Four. This event, which takes place on April 5 and 7, will showcase the Alamodome in all its upgraded glory. College basketball fans can look forward to an unforgettable experience with improved amenities and a more modern look and feel.

The Alamodome has a rich history of hosting NCAA events, having previously hosted the men’s Final Four in 1998, 2004, 2008, and 2018, as well as the women’s Final Four in 2002, 2010, and 2021. The excitement doesn’t end in 2025! The NCAA has announced that the Alamodome will also host women’s semifinal and championship games in 2029.

A Home for UTSA and More

The Alamodome isn’t just a venue for NCAA events; it’s also the home turf for the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) football team. Additionally, the stadium hosts the Valero Alamo Bowl each December, adding to its extensive list of sporting events.

In conclusion, the Alamodome’s upgrades and renovations are setting the stage for a bright future as a top-tier sports and entertainment venue. With a history of hosting NCAA events and a commitment to modernization, it’s clear that the Alamodome will continue to play a vital role in San Antonio’s sports scene for years to come. So mark your calendars for 2025 and get ready to witness the Alamodome in all its glory during the NCAA Final Four!

AUSTIN ⎯ Texas attains new records in March 2023 with the largest civilian labor force and greatest number of people employed in state history. The seasonally adjusted civilian labor force increased by 78,800 to reach a series-high 14,898,100 people, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.0 percent. Texas added 28,600 positions to reach another series-high job count at 13,839,200 total nonfarm jobs. Since March 2022, 575,100 positions have been added.

Also of note, both Trade, Transportation and Utilities and Private Education and Health Services grew by 5,400 jobs in March.

The Midland Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) recorded the lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a not seasonally adjusted rate of 2.6 percent in March, followed by Amarillo at 3.1 percent, then College Station-Bryan at 3.2 percent.

“The Texas civilian labor force, with 14.9 million people, continues to demonstrate resilience and growth,” observed TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Alberto Treviño III. “Here at TWC, we are focused on unlocking opportunities for our workforce. From apprenticeships to upskilling to quality child care, we are dedicated to helping every Texan have the opportunity to reach their career goals.”
