Young and old alike are attracted to San Marcos. Texas State University boasts an enrollment of 38-thousand students, but they aren't the only group contributing to the city's significant growth in population. According to Forbes magazine, San Marcos is also a great place to retire. Bobcat Update's Kenidee Thomas tells us why in this report:
According to Forbes, San Marcos is the best place to retire in Texas. The city offers beautiful scenery, good air quality, affordable homes and plenty of doctors. Also, there's no state income tax. The Milken Institute also rates the city highly for successful aging. San Marcos manages to keep the cost of living 13 percent below the national average.
SB
San Marcos has a diverse population of 61-thousand. Residents say the city still has a small-town feel.
SB
The city offers several fringe benefits -- its river, museums, the university, outlets and downtown.

Located between San Antonio and Austin, San Marcos is ideally situated.

It's readily apparent that the L-B-J Student Center is undergoing major changes. Bobcat Update's Lacey Pompe has some information regarding what these changes will entail.
The Texas State student population is ever changing, and so is the campus itself. Several big construction projects are underway, including additions at the L-B-J Student Center.
SB
The changes will result in a second ballroom, a multicultural center, an alumni center, a new Chick Fil A, and a new and improved George's.
SB
Most of the improvements are focused on the students.
SB
The renovations have resulted in detours in and around the student center, but most people seem not to mind.

While a few of these changes are projected to be finished early next year, the complete renovation won't be completed until 20-20. For Bobcat Update, I'm Lacey Pompe.
