Vision for Round Rock’s downtown inspires enthusiasm for the future
Recently, I had the opportunity to take a tour of downtown Round Rock with City Manager Jim Nuse and Communications Director Will Hampton.
It was exciting to hear about the possibilities of an increased number of events and plans, which left me feeling confident that Round Rock will enjoy the end result.
We paid particular attention to the land beside the Baca Senior Center and McConico Building. Residents often equate downtown with the eastern side of Mays Street, but as Nuse showed us the west side, I caught his enthusiasm.
During the tour, we walked to the amphitheater that now stands on the south side of the Baca Center parking garage and saw how the land is being prepared for concerts. While there, we also looked at another portion of the lot that might be used for a new city hall. Already, Lake Creek accents the beauty of the area. A future hike and bike trail might be added to accommodate pedestrians.
So often, communication and information can help create a smooth transition. That is why we covered Pflugerville’s need to reduce the sodium content in the city’s water. We wanted to help readers learn about ways they can help during the process of acquiring a new water source.
Please feel free to write us with thoughts or comments. We listen and respond to your input, which is why we made the residential real estate guide more reader-friendly. I believe it can be a useful tool for you as you make your own real estate decisions.
Again, because Community Impact Newspaper is committed to improvement, I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached by calling 989-6808 or e-mail at sara@impactnews.com.
