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 DEEDA: Driving around my neighborhood, I see a few more “For sale” signs than normal. However, a ordability is still a major issue as demand outpaces supply. This edition includes our annual Real Estate Guide starting inside (see Page 16). In our front-page story, we share the city’s plans to increase the housing supply, particularly along our major corridors. We’ve all heard, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, they are here, and they’re knocking down doors for housing. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER dlovett@communityimpact.com

Our mission is to build communities of informed citizens and thriving businesses through the collaboration of a passionate team. Our core values are Faith, Passion, Quality, Innovation and Integrity.
FROM ANDREA: A good public education system bene ts everyone. As school districts across the state struggle to retain teachers, Austin ISD is no di erent. In June, district trustees approved pay incentives for the upcoming school year with hopes teachers will stay on. Inside, we talk more about moves to keep educators (see Page 14).
