City Council to consider agreement with Harmony Public Schools

Georgetown City Council will consider a municipal agreement with Harmony Public Schools at its April 12 meeting.

The agreement presents the annexation of 28 acres between Blue Ridge Drive and FM 1460. The property sits behind the Parallax at Georgetown and almost adjacent to the Citigroup Data Center.

According to the Georgetown Future Land Use Plan, the land is zoned for employment center, open space and mixed-density neighborhood.

If the agreement is approved, the city of Georgetown will be legally required to provide services such as fire protection, emergency services and stormwater utilities.

A first and second reading of the agreement will follow in coming City Council meetings.

Harmony Public Schools is a system of 58 Texas public charter schools that provides K-12 education focused on science, technology, engineering and math.

Harmony opened its first school in Houston in 2000. Since expanding, there are five campuses in Austin, one in Cedar Park and one in Pflugerville. www.harmonytx.org
