Community changes require citizen involvement and attention
It is hard to believe it is already time for another election May 12. I write this with eyes on the future of Pflugerville. How will the city evolve? It is certainly at a crossroads and this election is important to watch. Two candidates are running for mayor and two running for city council. It is necessary that residents take the time to decide who will lead their city and vote for their choice.
Major changes are coming to the region, and with it, major infrastructural demands such as roads and rail. Transportation issues are one of the things we pride ourselves on covering well.
Many people have asked me about the Trans-Texas Corridor – and with all the projects going on around us it is no wonder the issue is confusing. Anyone who lives or works in our coverage area needs to know about this topic.
There are a lot of questions about the future of newspapers. We continue to believe if we give people the information they want in an easy to read format, they will read and appreciate it.
We have tried with this issue to make things a little easier to read without sacrificing the quality of our content. Flexibility and innovation are big factors in our ability to grow as a company.
Part of our growth also has led to new professional opportunities for our staff. We began with three employees in September 2005 and now have 19.
One of those employees is Sara Aleman, who beginning in May, will serve as our Round Rock/Pflugerville General Manager. Sara is a Round Rock resident with a lot of ties to Pflugerville. I think you will appreciate her desire to continue our mission.
