During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the upcoming community meeting regarding the feasibility of a new recreation center in Seguin. The meeting is scheduled for October 29 at 6 PM at the Seguin Coliseum, where consultants from Brinkley, Sergeant, Wigginton Architects, and Pros Consulting will facilitate discussions to gauge community interest and input on the proposed facility.

City officials emphasized the importance of community feedback in determining the features of the recreation center, which may include a fitness room, gymnasium, sports classrooms, a teen room, and a walking track. The meeting aims to engage residents directly, with plans for live streaming to allow for real-time feedback.

However, a concern was raised by Josh Bright, a resident from outside the city, who highlighted a scheduling conflict with the school board meeting on the same night. He suggested postponing the recreation meeting to ensure participation from school district representatives, as many children who would use the facility are students in the district.

City officials acknowledged the concern and will consider the timing of the community meeting to maximize attendance and input from all stakeholders. The outcome of this meeting could significantly influence the future of recreational facilities in Seguin, making community engagement crucial.
