County officials from across the Texas Hill Country gathered in San Antonio on November 7 for a regional County-to-County Workshop hosted by a coalition of nonprofit partners, including the Hill Country Alliance, Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, National Wildlife Federation, Comal Conservation, and the Heart of Texas Conservancy. The meeting brought together county commissioners and nonprofit leaders to strengthen coordination among local governments managing rapid growth, limited county authority, and water issues that cross jurisdictional lines. Since launching in 2023, the County-to-County workshops have engaged more than 90 officials and staff from 11 counties. Commissioners Jen Crownover and Kevin Webb of Comal County, Andra Wisian of Kendall County, Stephen Germann of Guadalupe County, and former Hays County Commissioner Lon Shell serve as the coalition’s founding hosts and facilitators.
