The city of Round Rock began work this week to install seven new bus shelters along public transit routes throughout the city as a result of city-obtained federal grant funding.
The backstory
The city’s community development office provides services for residents and neighborhoods to improve quality of life. The department is able to fund some of those projects through its participation in the Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program.
In previous years, Round Rock has used the annual CDBG grant funds to provide housing programs, infrastructure, parks, workforce opportunities and other public services that assist low- and moderate-income residents, according to city documents.
