2023 ANNUAL COMMUNITY GUIDE

facilities for the 2024-25 school year, including an elementary school, a mid- dle school and a future-ready learning center. Superintendent Fred Brent said the district also expects to have another bond election sometime in 2024 to fund four additional campuses. As companies decide what areas to move into, Porter said they examine the skilled labor force. GISD is work- ing to address this, too, as Brent said school ocials are considering new ways it can help ll those positions, such as through programs oered at the $97 million career and technical education center. “We’re very interested in pursuing ways that we can accommodate work- force demand through the future-ready complex,” Brent said. “It’s not uncom- mon for industries to say, ‘We can hire a lot of students right now. We’ll teach them what we want them to know. We just want to know they have some degree of skilled work capacity.’” City challenges High population growth places a stress on all parts of city govern- ment, Morgan said. The challenge is

maintaining core services while doing appropriate planning to guide growth in a positive direction, he said. As the city grows, Morgan said o- cials are prioritizing infrastructure expansion, such as road, water util- ity and electric utility construction along with strategies to pay for these improvements, such as impact fees. As part of the planning process, city o- cials will rewrite the development code as well as update the water and waste- water master plan, the mobility plan, the comprehensive land use plan and the downtown master plan. While appealing to big business, city ocials also hope to nurture the qualities that lured them and many locals to Georgetown in the rst place. “We are working to maintain the ‘small-town charm’ that residents and visitors value about Georgetown,” Morgan said. “This includes historic preservation, arts and culture activities, special events and enhancing our river corridors with trails.”
