Now open
Puppy Paws Studio
The studio is owned by 15-year-old Regina Rico Schnell and managed by her mother Amanda Schnell. They partner with local shelters and ethical breeders to socialize puppies before they go to their forever homes. Every Saturday and Sunday, Paws Puppy Studio hosts four classes, which are puppy mindfulness, puppy story time, puppy painting and a puppy dance class.
Soul Strong Yoga
The studio offers several classes, including morning and afternoon yoga, prenatal yoga, meditation, Pilates, power yoga and more. Monthly memberships range from $119-$159 and drop-in classes are available starting at $30 each. Julie Afsahi and Sepideh Jafari first opened a Round Rock location in 2018.

Fritz Park
The park's renovations are expected to open in early September. Additions include an all-wheels pump track, an expanded splash pad, new playground equipment, walking trails, increased parking and improved facilities. The project cost around $11 million and stems from a 2018 voter-approved parks bond.
The Hutto Area Chamber of Commerce
The chamber will build a permanent headquarters in downtown Hutto, according to an Aug. 7 news release. This comes as the Hutto Economic Development Corporation acquired the Chamber’s longtime building on East Street, per the release, as part of its broader effort to support revitalization in Old Town.
