General Manager’s Note • August 2008
Written by Laura Wickett Friday, 15 August 2008
As children, we learn to choose wisely when selecting friends, teammates on the playground or the parent most likely to show leniency. Later, we use those evaluation skills to pick partners in business, love and life.
The E3 Alliance partners are working together to prepare students entering kindergarten for their eventual admission to college. Leander and Round Rock independent school districts are working with regional partners to improve the quality of the district. Leander ISD’s Partners in Education program also recruits the community — individuals, businesses and organizations — to invest time into the district schools and students.
The city staff works to recruit business partners to join the community. Kirk Clennan, Leander economic development director, recently gave a presentation on Leander’s development outlook. There are companies looking to Leander to expand their businesses, from retail stores to restaurants. In a similar fashion, Endeavor Real Estate Group partnered with the city of Cedar Park to bring 1890 Ranch to the community. As Cedar Park and Leander city staffs continue to recruit business partnerships, residents will find more options for shopping, dining, working and playing close to home.
At Community Impact, we appreciate the businesses that have partnered with us to grow and maintain a local presence. To the small businesses and regional players working with our staff, we thank you for your continued support.
