Meet Wendy Scott

Wendy is a member of the BBOC and Paralegal for Collins Ostrom PLLC! Buda has been Wendy’s home for almost 30 years, where she enjoys exploring different shops downtown and taking her grandchildren to the beautiful parks.

Wendy’s dedication to building a strong community and identifying projects that represent residents’ voice is reflected through her work in the BBOC. Outside of work, Wendy loves to spend time with her family, take walks, explore parks in Texas, and put together puzzles!

With her love of parks and the outdoors, Wendy is excited to be a part of the City Park and Garison Park projects on Buda Bonds.

Fun Fact: Wendy works with a group at her church, providing donations for Operation Christmas Child!

Other Updates

Construction on West Goforth Road

On Monday, July 10, construction work started for the Goforth utilities crossing as part of the Stream Buda Industrial project in the Goforth neighborhood. As a result, West Goforth was reduced to one lane for a week. This process will also be repeated on the other side. Remember to keep your eyes on the road and slow down for construction crews directing traffic!
