This request follows City Council's March 4 approval to select consulting firm Freese and Nichols to conduct a comprehensive plan, which will include an expanded scope plan for downtown Hutto, said Ashley Lumpkin, executive director of infrastructure and development services.
She said the plan will consist of a full breakdown of existing assets, underutilized spaces and growth incentives for the downtown area.
The total cost of the comprehensive plan will be around $500,000; the approved EDC funds will contribute to the total, she said.
The consulting contract with Freese and Nichols will be presented to the City Council during its May 20 meeting.
