ABOUT US
Owners John and Jennifer Garrett launched the rst edition of Community Impact Newspaper in 2005 with three full-time employees covering Round Rock and P ugerville, Texas. Now in 2022, CI is still locally owned. We have expanded to include hundreds of employees, our own software platform and printing facility, and over 30 hyperlocal editions across the state with a circulation to more than 2.4 million residential mailboxes.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM CHRISSY: After a very hot and dry summer, fall is nally in the air! Fortunately, September brought some much-needed rain to the area and some relief from the heat. Like it or not, pumpkin spice is already everywhere. But fall also brings many local community festivals and events. We’ve included our Fall To-Do List (see pages 26-27), so make sure to check out all of the fun activities coming up. Chrissy Leggett, GENERAL MANAGER

FROM ANNA: Our front-page story examines the mental health crisis Harris and Montgomery counties—and the rest of the state—are facing. With Texas ranked last in the U.S. for access to mental health care, local businesses are opening up, and nonpro t groups are seeking to improve access for Tomball and Magnolia-area residents. Read about next steps inside (see Page 34). Anna Lotz, SENIOR EDITOR
Our purpose is to be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.
