General Manager’s Note — August 2007

New arrivals abound
After spending eight of the most exciting and joyous weeks of my life at home with my newborn son, it’s good to be back in the saddle.
Right around the time I should begin saving for my son’s college fund, Cedar Park’s largest shopping center will open in October. Like most area shoppers, I can’t wait to shop at 1890 Ranch.
We recently spoke with the developer of the center, the Endeavor Group, which gave us the list of confirmed stores as well as those for which negotiations are in the works. Unlike most shopping centers with a cookie-cutter lineup of businesses, 1890 Ranch sounds like it will have a unique array of shops, including the possibility for several locally owned establishments — always my favorites.
In my April column, I talked about the impact that 183A Toll was having on the businesses along US 183. Our editorial team discussed running a story then, but decided to wait until the toll road was no longer free. Fortunately, things appear to be picking up for many of the businesses.
School is almost back in session and this month, you’ll find that the Education Focus covers Round Rock ISD. While most of our coverage area is in Leander ISD, many Avery Ranch readers attend Round Rock schools. If you missed last month’s coverage of Leander ISD, visit our Web site.
On a final note, our staff is proud to announce yet another new arrival to the Community Impact family. On Aug. 10, we launched our fourth newspaper covering the Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor area. We are excited about the new market and the opportunity to help folks in that neck of the woods better understand their community.
What market will we go to next? Who knows! But come October, I know exactly where I’ll be: shopping.
Claire M. Love, General Manager
