Editor's Note

Dear Readers,

Whether you’re a seasoned local or new arrival, this month's issue is bound to have everything you need to get to know your new home or see your community with fresh eyes.

First, flip through our local bucket list of iconic landmarks and community hubs that have made Georgetown the culturally and historically rich destination it is today. Newly constructed and situated outside Mulligan’s restaurant in Sun City, the Red Poppy Community Garden Railroad project will wrap up by year's end, giving you the chance to admire a detailed replica of the Square and a model train.

For a variety of ways to enjoy the outdoors this fall, check out our list of popular parks and trails around town. Another favorite recreation hub, the Georgetown Recreation Center, could be growing as the city’s upcoming bond election includes a project to expand the Rec Center to keep up with the high demand for services.

To learn more about the city’s future goals and projects, check out our State of the City story, which highlights everything from cultural events and emergency preparation to economic development and transportation solutions. Also, don’t miss our list of law enforcement leaders who work diligently to keep our community safe.

Lastly, congratulations to new GISD Superintendent Dr. Devin Padavil as he seeks to guide students and staff in their education journeys and bright futures. We wish Superintendent Padavil and students much success as they embark on a new school year!
