GroundFloor provides update on $26.5 million Nolte Hotel Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- A massive project is still in the works for downtown Seguin. The city’s development partner says the Nolte Hotel project continues to make progress. It was approximately 11 months ago that the city named GroundFloor Development as its development partner for the project that would completely revamp an entire city block, including the building that previously housed Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Seguin. Matt Holley and Peter French of GroundFloor attended Tuesday’s meeting of the Seguin City Council and provided an update on the project, which will include a hotel, restaurants, bars, and flexible meeting
and convention spaces. Holley says the project will be a major attraction in downtown Seguin. He says it will bring in local residents as well as people who are visiting the community. “It’s a full city block on the south side of the park, right? And that city block allows us to build about 148,000 square foot building. Its primary asset is the hotel, but this is much more than just a hotel. It’s really part of the overall concept that we’re delivering. In addition to the hotel, we’ve got retail, we’ve got meeting spaces and restaurants that are both serving the hotel itself as well as the community-at-large, and other amenities like bars.

Election administrator resigns, citing political pressure; incoming GOP chair disputes claims Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- New details are emerging regarding the abrupt departure of the former Guadalupe County Elections Administrator. The Guadalupe County Election Commission is once again searching for a new Elections Administrator following the recent resignation of Cristian “Cris” Pérez García, who was hired for the position just three months ago. Pérez García was selected by the Guadalupe County Election Commission in March. In a resignation letter provided to KWED, Pérez García says her decision came after what she described as political pressure and harassment from incoming Guadalupe County Republican Party Chair Terry Harper. In the letter, Pérez García wrote that she accepted the position because she believes in “fair, transparent, and nonpartisan elections” and entered the office with years of experience and
a commitment to serving voters. She told Election Commission members that it had become impossible for her to continue serving under what she described as “political pressure, harassment, and discrimination” from Harper. She also wrote that election offices are intended to operate independently and without partisan influence and said she would not compromise those principles. She claims Harper made statements such as “I am your boss. You work for me. The Republican Party is your boss. You work for the Republican Party. People around here know who I am and how involved I am.” Pérez García further stated that she experienced severe anxiety and emotional distress from what she characterized as repeated attacks, public threats and efforts to damage her reputation and career.
