(Seguin) — The Guadalupe Appraisal District continues to move forward with its plans to transform the historic Mary B. Erskine School building into its future home.
Chief Appraiser Peter Snaddon says while no construction has begun at the building site, significant progress is being made behind the scenes.
Snaddon says the district recently completed the first phase of selecting a construction manager at risk.
“We’ve completed step one, which was the request for qualifications. We received six submissions and narrowed that down to three firms,” said Snaddon.
He says the remaining firms are scheduled to be interviewed today.
“I’ll be bringing that recommendation to the board on August 5, recommending which one of these firms we want to begin negotiations with,” said Snaddon.
Once negotiations are complete, Snaddon says the district will move into the construction planning phase.
“We’re still hoping to get in there early 2028 at this time,” said Snaddon.
The former Mary B. Erskine School is being renovated to help the appraisal district meet the growing demand for services across Guadalupe County.
The building is located at 216 E. College St.
