💰 Liberty Hill Grants Boost Local Orgs

Good news for Liberty Hill!

City Council just awarded $45,000 in community service grants to support local groups like the Public Library, LHISD, and nonprofits focused on education and community programs.

The goal? Help fund services that make life better around town. You’ll start to see the impact in the coming months.

Feels good when the city invests right back into the people who make this place special. Read more here.

🚗 New Free Lanes Along 183A

Good news for Cedar Park drivers!

New free frontage roads are coming to 183A to help take some pressure off the toll lanes. TxDOT says they'll help with traffic flow, make things safer, and even cut down on emissions.

It’s part of a bigger push to keep up with all the growth and give folks more ways to get around. Read more here.

🎉 Leander Public Library Earns Prestigious Award

Big win for the Leander Public Library!

It just earned the 2024 Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award—putting it in the top 19% of libraries across Texas. Out of 542 public libraries, only 102 got the honor this year.

It’s a well-deserved shoutout for all the great work they’re doing for our community. Read more here.

Coming Soon

🥯 Einstein Cros Bagels- Liberty Hill

Morning people (and the rest of us) are getting a new option—Einstein Bros Bagels is coming to Gateway 29 this September.

It’ll be at 19405 Ronald Reagan Blvd, right across from Bar W Marketplace, with a drive-thru for quick stops and indoor seating if you’ve got time to hang. Construction kicks off in June—coffee and bagels won’t be far behind. Read more here.

🍜 Ho’s Kitchen – Cedar Park

Opening this April near Lakeline Blvd, Ho’s Kitchen is bringing bold Vietnamese flavors to Cedar Park. From rich, modern pho with wagyu, lobster, or bone marrow to classic bánh mi and vermicelli bowls, it’s all about comfort with a twist.

Owner Nick Ho, a longtime local, saw a gap in the neighborhood—and decided to fill it, deliciously. Read more here.
