Does the City Council really want to "pave paradise and put up a parking lot"? The Old Fair Grounds/HEB Fields are in danger of being paved in one of the City of Fredericksburg, Texas's new plans for a Culinary Center. These fields have provided enrichment to the community for decades and provide an incalculable public good of green space in the middle of a rapidly developing "charming" small town. Spaces like the fields are what give Fredericksburg its livability and charm! By signing this petition, you let the City know that you benefited from having these fields around, whether you played softball, baseball, T-ball, soccer, football, or ultimate frisbee. Feel free to leave a comment on how it impacted your life. If we act now, we can save this beautiful and community-enriching area for years to come!
