Hays County Commissioner Walt Smith allocated $1,500,000 to the Patriots' Hall of Dripping Springs, a veterans' retreat, on November 8, 2023. The funds, obtained through the 2020 Parks and Open Space Bond, will cover the site's mortgage and enable various improvements according to Hays County's official website.
Patriots' Hall offers a 10-acre facility for the benefit of veterans and their families in Hays County. The projected amenities will include a gathering hall for activities like therapeutic classes, mentorship programs, educational workshops, and job networking. The complex is to also include a wellness center and outdoor facilities.
On recognizing this achievement, Commissioner Smith and Founding Board Member Kathryn Chandler took a tour of the prospective gathering hall and wellness center. Visit the official website of Patriots' Hall for more details about the project.
The 2020 Parks & Open Space Bond, the source of this considerable funding valued at $75 million, is an initiative for establishing parks, recreational lands, and conservational spaces in Hays County. The origins of the bond date back to November 2021, when the Parks & Open Space Advisory Commission suggested fund allocations to the Hays County Commissioners Court. Information regarding the bond is available on the Hays Parks Bond website or via email at [email protected].
