Some suggestions were: To have the Police Chief state how Cibolo is a Safe Place to Live, have a sentence or two on why someone chose Cibolo as their home, maybe have something with apartments, and more on the parks and how we have a very strong football season in Cibolo. B. Discussion/Presentation on results from a market study on the EDC -owned property located on FM 78. Mr. Hartley from CBRE Valuation & Advisory Services gave a Market Study Report on the EDC property at 590 W FM 78. They prepared a hotel market analysis of Cibolo, Texas. Specifically, they provided a recommendation for potential hotel development on the site at 590 West Farm to Market Road 78. Some of the findings in the report showed given the location of the site, they felt that a new prototypical new build hotel of any chain scale and class would likely be at a competitive disadvantage due to the location relative to the competitive market and area amenities. They do not find sufficient support for additional hotel development due to the location of the site and the relatively low average daily rates compared to the area market. They did state if there was development in the area that offered unique facilities with destination attributes or a facility that offered a large attraction or service that is unique to the area a hotel may be feasible. C. Discussion on Cibolo EDC Board training and events. Ms. Lee did send some training information to all members of the EDC Board.
