The battle over Buc-ee’s raged deep into the night at City Hall, which was packed with residents for and against the massive, trendy travel center. Under the proposal, Buc-ee’s would provide more than $5 million in infrastructure to the site on the west side of Interstate 35E between Loop 288 and Wind River Lane.
Neighbors fear congestion, noise pollution, light pollution, and other issues that they believe could harm lifestyle and property values. About 20 speakers sounded off to council members for and against the project. Opponents said it would bring low-paying jobs, and that tax breaks would add insult to injury.
Supporters said Buc-ee’s is a high quality operation that would bring visitors, and provide property and sales tax revenue. The proposed travel center would have 96 gas pumps and about 50,000 feet of retail space.
