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 Pugerville, 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 DENISE: In this month’s edition we are covering topics on two opposite elements: re and water. Both of these issues are a major concern as we are still battling the Texas heat. As the population continues to grow, city ocials address how they are preparing for that growth and plans to assist in water conservation (see Page 32). And, wild and grass res are also a continuing threat. Read more about how local organizations plan to handle this issue (see Page 34). Denise Seiler, GENERAL MANAGER
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. Community Impact Newspaper teams include general managers, editors, reporters, graphic designers, sales account executives and sales support, all immersed and invested in the communities they serve.
FROM CLAIRE: As September brings hopefully fewer 100-degree days and the start of fall, we put together a guide of local breweries, distilleries and wineries in northern Williamson County, including those in Cedar Park and Leander. Our guide (see Page 20) also highlights whether these establishments are family-friendly, feature live music and have outdoor seating as well as include a favorite drink among customers. Claire Shoop, EDITOR
Our purpose is to be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.
