This week’s must-know news

🚗 Georgetown Crash Rate Up 91%

Georgetown’s police department report shows a 91% rise in crashes over the past decade, with calls for service up 47%. As the city grows and roads get busier, staying alert and driving cautiously is more important than ever. Let’s all do our part to stay safe!

🏗️ The District in Round Rock Breaks Ground

After years of planning, construction is set to begin on The District, a $500M+ mixed-use project near I-35 and SH 45. Spanning 66 acres, it will include office space, retail, apartments, and hotels, bringing 5,000 jobs by 2039. The first phase begins this month and city leaders see it as a major step in Round Rock’s growth. More info here.

🌆 257-Acre 'Gateway at Hutto' Proposed

Developers are planning Gateway at Hutto, a 257-acre mixed-use project featuring homes, apartments, retail, office space, a hotel, and a lake-centered open space. The project aims to be a "gateway and destination" for the growing city but still requires city approvals. More info here.
