Every edition of this newspaper features an Impacts section on pages 6-7 that includes news about businesses, restaurants or services that recently opened, are scheduled to open, relocated, have been renovated or expanded, are under new management or ownership, changed names or closed.

Although we typically receive emails or news releases sent to [email protected] or [email protected] regarding the news, sometimes the information stems from a local city council or planning commission meeting involving a permit or variance request. We also derive our information from tracking permits online or even by just frequenting local grocery stores or neighborhood services as this Lake Travis resident can attest.

Similarly, our calendar events are compiled from information sent to us or listed on our online calendar at communityimpact.com/event-calendar/add-an-event. This resource is especially useful for items that have not made our print deadline.
