Texas Historical Commission operating agreement
Fredericksburg
Summary
The city is handing about 12 acres of long-idle public land to the Texas Historical Commission for a hands-on frontier-history facility for schoolkids tied to Fort Martin Scott — with reversion clauses if the state misses its milestones. The county-donors access question and who pays utilities before transfer still need clarification.
