Neighborhoods Planning Meeting - To Stop a Sexually Oriented Business on Grand Avenue to be hosted by involved neighborhoods at 7pm at Heatherwilde HOA Clubhouse at 16800 Cactus Blossom at Heatherwilde.

Purpose: a sexually oriented business has received a permit to build on Grand Ave, in Austin's ETJ west of the Pflugerville city limits. Many in the Pflugerville area are concerned about the negative economic impact this could have on their home values, quality of life, and their children's safety. A number of Pflugerville area HOAs and churches are working together to collect signatures from their residents to let developer and government agencies know they don't want his topless bar built. County Commissioner - Precinct 2, Karen Sonleitner (karen.sonleitner@co.travis.tx.us), has also written a letter to developer expressing opposition to development and opposition organizers may be speaking to Pflugerville City Council about issue at Feb. 21st Council meeting. Meeting contacts: Colette McCullough at colettem@lintonfamily.org and Deanna Burleson at stopsob@yahoo.com.
