Round Rock to consider downtown renovation project

Because the project site is surrounded by businesses and resident activity, the contractor will have to work in tight confines around heavy daily foot and car traffic, according to city documents.

“We’re going to feel a little bit of pain, but I think at the end of this thing, I think everybody can be happy we did this thing up,” Atkins said.

Since construction will likely last through the end of the year, Atkins said the city will try to limit interference with holiday activities downtown.

“We’re going to try and work through that as fast as we can,” Atkins said.

What’s next

City Council will vote on the construction contract July 24.
