1. Shoppers, Start Your Shopping Carts!
A June groundbreaking for the H-E-B Plus at the northwest corner of US 183 and RM 2243 will finally put Leander on the path to having its very own grocery store. The store plans to open in early 2007. The 140,000 sq. ft. store will have attached retail for additional commercial retail development.
2. Summit Christian Academy
Summit Christian Academy received two separate million dollar donations to aid in the growth and expansion of their two campuses. The anonymous monies will be used for new classrooms, a science lab, new gymnasiums and educational opportunities. Founded in 2002, the Academy is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, Texas Association of Baptist Schools, Texas Christian Athletic League and the Austin Christian Athletic Association. For more information, call the Cedar Park campus at 250-1369 or the Leander campus at 259-4416.
Higher Education Survey
Hoping to attract greater educational opportunities for residents of Leander and Western Williamson County, the city created the Leander Education and Development Economic Resource Fund. Working along with Austin Community College, officials from the city, Leander ISD and Williamson County business leaders created a survey to determine the needs of high school students, residents and businesses. The survey closed May 7; the findings will help the city council market to potential vocational and academic institutions. For more information, visit www.leanderhighered.org.

4. Reunion Square Ready to Lease
Offering more than 12,000 sq. ft. of retail and office space, Reunion Square, 1815 South US 183 is ready for occupancy. The facility is a “green building,” allowing particular adjustments during construction and the use of recycled materials creating an energy-efficient structure. Rainwater collection tanks accumulate the water for the landscaping and a reflective lightweight steel roof deters heat. An opaque glass block floor system allows natural light to penetrate from the upper lobby level onto the lower. For leasing information, call 259-4959.
