The owner of the Schertz-Cibolo Cemetery at 93 Bubbling Springs Road is requesting a Schertz Main Street Area Preservation Incentive Grant for the property. The Schertz Main Street Area Preservation Incentive Grant is available for properties within the designated grant area or properties that have been designated as Landmark Properties, which this property has. Council recently added a flatwork grant category to the Schertz Main Street Area Preservation Incentive Grant for properties without structures. This allows 50/50 matching grants for up to $20,000.00. The property owner is seeking funds to install interpretive panels and a connecting paver walkway. The estimated cost of the work is just under $24,000.00, but staff is recommending the grant be for up to $12,500 (so total work cost of $25,000.00 to cover possible cost over runs). The SHPC recommended approval of this grant at their September meeting.   

Promote the history and culture of the City of Schertz to tourists and residents.

Recognize structures of significance to the community’s past.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-147 authorizing a Main Street Historic Preservation Grant for the property at 93 Bubbling Springs Road, the Schertz-Cibolo Cemetery for up to $12,500.00 (total cost estimated to be $25,000.00).

Up to $12,500.00 from Hotel Occupancy Funds. 

Approval of Resolution 25-R-147.
