Two decades ago, Comal County began planning for the growth everyone knew was coming.Â
Then the countyâs population was around 78,000, and 10 years later totaled 108,472 â the same year voters rejected a $36 million justice center and additional downtown county office space.
Now that the county has exceeded 150,000 residents, its facilities downtown are nearing the end of a $32.5 million facelift for new offices, three county courts at-law and five district courts.Â
âItâs really something to see because itâs something weâve talked about for so long,â County Judge Sherman Krause said. âWeâre finally kind of seeing all of it (come to fruition).â
