FROM TAYLOR: This Thanksgiving season, I am grateful for the hard-working, passionate individuals who make up Community Impact’s Lake Travis-Westlake team. You’ll find Editor Grace Dickens’ roundup of local volunteer opportunities inside (see Page 37). Also inside (see Pages 53- 54), Reporter Taylor Cripe and Graphic Designer Sabrina Musachia outline Loop 360’s current and future projects, complete with a map and timeline. Account Executive Jacqueline Harris’ hard work is apparent on just about every page; she works tirelessly to give local businesses in our community a voice. And of course, we are all grateful for you, our wonderful readers. Taylor Caranfa Stover, GENERAL MANAGER tstover@communityimpact.com
FROM GRACE: This issue features an update to the Loop 360 corridor project, which is now underway at Westlake Drive and Cedar Street. There is also an inside look at the impact low Lake Travis water levels have on local businesses and a glimpse into the creation of Californian-Mexican cuisine with R19 Taqueria. Grace Dickens, EDITOR
CORRECTION: Volume 13, Issue 9 On Page 45, the data shown for recent housing market trends was incorrectly labeled as “August” instead of “September.” The data on Page 60 of this edition is the correct September data.

"I support this paper because the information it provides is so valuable and lacking these days. The unbiased articles help my understanding about my community. I think a paper like CI should exist for all regions in Texas." TABITHA L.
"When CI Patrons give, it helps fund our hyperlocal reporting and hire more journalists to take CI coverage to the next level. Community giving overall strengthens our opportunity to be a light in our industry." JOE WARNER
