Georgetown city staff will partner with Titan NorthPark35 to develop an extension of Aviation Drive, as identified in the city's overall transportation plan, to intersect with I-35 and SH 130.

At the July 28 meeting City Council approved the agreement for reimbursement of the cost for engineering design of the extension with associated utilities.

"This area of the city has been identified as employment center and has seen a lot of interest for development," Director of Economic Development Michaela Dollar said in a staff report. "The extension of Aviation Drive and utilities is crucial for it's future development."

The financial agreement is for up to $650,000.

This agreement is only for engineering, and construction will be addressed separately at a later date when the engineering is nearing completion, according to Dollar.
