What we reported

In 2016 the U.S. Census Bureau named the city of Georgetown the fastest-growing city in the U.S. of at least 50,000. With the area continuing to experience growth, several development and retail projects are ongoing, including Saddlecreek, a 353-acre project in southeast Georgetown, and Wolf Ranch, a 755-acre community near Hwy. 29. The addition of The Sheraton Georgetown Texas Hotel and Conference Center in July also helps position Georgetown as a destination for conferences and tourism.

The latest

Development continues at The Summit at Rivery Park, Georgetown’s first high-end, mixed-use development. The 32-acre space located near The Sheraton will feature businesses such as Woops Bakeshop and The Woodhouse Spa.

What’s next

In addition to more businesses being announced at The Summit at Rivery Park in 2017, Morgan indicated the city is working to develop additional retail projects along I-35.
