Round Top Town Council Meets
member asked the Mayor whether the Do Your Duty (DYD) Club could rent the building during the antiques shows. Earlier this year, the Town Council passed a resolution that essentially prohibits the DYD Club from holding their long-standing Square Fair. The resolution cited the Town’s desire to preserve greenspace. At Thursday’s meeting, Vincent reiterated that the rates are for the building and not the grounds surrounding the square.
New City Manager Says Pump the Brakes on Weimar-as-the-New-Hollywood Rumors
Regarding the Texas Film Corridor Project (which would bring a sprawling film production campus to the Weimar area): The recent articles you may have read in the local newspapers and seen on FaceBook are entirely fictious. There are not any signed contracts between the City of Weimar and the Texas Film Corridor project. The City of Weimar has not made any offers to the developer. The developer will need to provide the required infrastructure for the site and development. There are no signed contracts, and the location is still undetermined at this point in time. No new developments have been discussed since the last meeting before or since the previous mayor resigned in July 2025. My last conversation with Robert (developer) was that the corridor private funding and signing of land contracts with property owners is still 6 to 8 weeks out. All agreements between the City of Weimar and any property owner (Film Corridor or other) that involved: a) annexation, b) provision of any City utilities outside the City limits, c) City subsidies, abatements or tax incentives, d) re-zoning, or e) use of City funds or crews to develop private property would all have to be discussed in public during a duly noticed Council meeting and would require Council approval.
