Georgetown is planning for growth.

Georgetown's growth is coming from two extremes: couples with their children moving into subdivisions such as The Village), and the retired community moving into planned developments like Sun City. Of course there are many other developments for people falling somewhere in between. Downtown is getting a major makeover. Austin Avenue is being revitalized. Austin Avenue Medical Plaza on one end and new condos on the other. Downtown is redoing all the sidewalks, walkways and bike routes. We are on our way to being pedestrian friendly.

Wolfe Ranch Shopping Center was not the death of downtown. Instead Wolf Ranch has provided many Georgetown residents with a new, needed shopping venue. Now, across I-35 from Wolf Ranch is another shopping and dining development with many chain restaurants.

Our courthouse in the center of the square has been restored and offers multiple daily tours. Downtown has many new cafes as well as the established ones such as Laurie's Cafe, Monument Cafe, El Monumento, Burger University, Wildfire Restaurant, Gumbos, 600 Degrees Pizza and Drafthouse.

"What will Georgetown be when it grows up?"

Georgetown is a fast growing city, but the city leaders are planning for this growth. The city web site and visitor's bureau keep us informed. Local shops keep their quaintness.

With the rapid growth in Georgetown, we need to plan for the growth rather than let whatever comes our way happen.

In 2018, 2 new fire stations were announced and in 2020 both opened.
