Williamson County: A note from Dan Gattis, Williamson County Judge
Williamson County continues to be one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas as well as in the nation. It encompasses more than 1,134 square miles right here in the heart of Central Texas and in recent years has grown into a vibrant community where its citizens can work and live.
For the past decade, we have had to constantly evaluate how to effectively and efficiently meet the needs of our fast-growing population through our county services and infrastructure improvements. We have been able to meet the growing needs through conservative budgeting, which keeps Williamson County affordable as well as exceptional. The Williamson County Commissioners Court prides itself on listening to the needs and wants of its constituents when planning for the future. Recent voter-approved road bond and park projects have been progressing, including a new events center opening in the fall in eastern Williamson County. Commissioners Court has also initiated and promoted water discussions across Central Texas to ensure we have enough of this natural resource for the estimated future growth of Williamson County.
