City departments outgrow space, move to new location

On May 1, the city of Dripping Springs Planning and Building Departments will be relocating to a new building, the former Pedernales Electric Cooperative building, located at 661 West Highway 290, in Dripping Springs.

The city of Dripping Springs is witnessing significant growth. The decision to relocate comes as a result of the departments outgrowing their current space at city Hall. The new location represents an exciting opportunity for the city to better serve its residents and businesses. Deputy City Administrator Ginger Faught expressed optimism about the move, stating, 'As our city continues to grow and evolve, it is crucial that our Planning and Building Departments have the space and resources needed to support this development. The move to our new building will enable us to provide even better service to our community.'

By moving the Building and Planning Departments to the new location, it will enable the city to serve the community with increased efficiency for processing permits, inspections, and planning approvals. The new location will be called the Development Services Division of the City.

The new location is equipped to handle inquiries and permit applications efficiently. Additionally, it offers meeting space for consultations with city planners, architects, and builders. The departments will continue their mission to promote responsible development that includes maintaining the city's unique historic character while fostering growth.
