Hays developer donates ROW for FM 2001
Thursday, September 11, 2014 by Mark Richardson
A development company has donated 19 acres of land near Niederwald for the use of Hays County’s planned extension of FM 2001. Canada-based developer Walton Development and Management is planning a major project along the border of Hays and Caldwell counties. Hays County officials say the FM 2001 project will connect Interstate 35 and Texas 130, and relieve the traffic flow into Austin. Under the terms of the deal, Walton is donating the use of the right of way to Hays County, which will control the land but not transfer ownership. The tract is where Walton wants to build Camino Real, a proposed development west of Texas 21.
