Williamson County commis- sioners formally authorized a land purchase and funding mechanism May 19 for a 255-acre tract in southwest Georgetown intended for the justice center. What happened Located on SE Inner Loop adjacent to the new county admin- istration building, commissioners said the location will allow for efficient government operations, and meet the needs of the growing population. The vote to close on the land sale passed 4-0, with County Judge Steve Snell absent. Commissioners also authorized up to $150 million in tax anticipa- tion notes, a short-term funding strategy to minimize interest, that will cover the $76 million land cost. What they’re saying Many county residents spoke during the public comment period to oppose the location of the proposed justice center. Commissioners acknowledged the comments and concerns of residents, but decided to proceed with the project. WilCo approves purchase for justice center
