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. We have expanded our operations to include hundreds of employees, our own printing operation and over 30 hyperlocal editions across three states. Our circulation is over 2 million residential mailboxes, and it grows each month with new residents and developments.
HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH
FROMDENISE: A large part of working for a newspaper is getting involved in the community and cultivating relationships. The Bridges 18+ program believes in the importance of getting involved as well. With the bond that was passed by Georgetown ISD voters in November, a portion of funding is going toward this program, which helps young adults with disabilities gain real-life experience by visiting local job sites that have become great partners. You can read more on the Bridges 18+ program inside (see Page 24). Denise Seiler, GENERALMANAGER

FROMEDDIE: I’ve always admired the camaraderie of the beer industry. There can only be so much shelf space and so many glasses to ll, right? But it’s rarely cutthroat, and time and again I run into folks like the sta at Rentsch Brewery who treat their guests like family and spend their days o at nearby Barking Armadillo Brewing. That a ability shines through at Rentsch’s original taproom on NE Inner Loop (see feature on Page 19) and should help guide its new taproom coming to downtown (see Impacts on Page 6).
