Background Information:
The FM 110 north roadway project requires the conveyance of right of way from the Department of Labor, to Hays County, for the portion of the roadway that pass through their land which is currently used as the Gary Job Corp facility. To convey the right of way, the Department of Labor is requesting Hays County build a new entrance to the Gary Job Corp located off of Airport Drive which is city owned property at the airport.
The city has been in discussions with Hays County and the Department of Labor to develop an agreement for participation in costs associated to facilitate the new access with improvements to Airport Drive and a direct connection from FM 110 to the airport. This direct access will improve access to the airport and the Gary Job Corp facility, via their new entrance/exit.
The city initiated a traffic study to assess the implications of an entrance/exit to Gary Job Corp using airport drive and provide conceptual designs providing an efficient configuration of the entrance with improvements to Airport Drive and a direct access to and from FM 110.
This inter-local agreement between the city and Hays County sets out restrictions on the use of airport drive and activity on city owned property associated on the new entrance to Gary Job Corp until a participation agreement is established to the satisfaction of the city.
