Bee Cave Brief: November 2025

Library Bond Election

Bee Cave voters approved the construction of a new library on the Skaggs Tract next to Hill Country Indoor but rejected the bond that would have paid for construction. The City Council will consider election results before determining next steps.

In the meantime, the existing Bee Cave Public Library will continue to provide services at its current location.
