ABOUT US Owners John and Jennifer Garrett launched Community Impact in 2005, and the company is still locally owned today. We have expanded to include hundreds of team members and have created our own software platform and printing facility. CI delivers 35+ localized editions across Texas to more than 2.5 million residential mailboxes.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM HEATHER: Happy New Year. For this year’s Annual Community Guide we share a Regional Destinations Guide, a recap of many businesses that opened throughout 2022 and a business feature on Blackout Signs (see Page 27). Our front page story speaks about the growth in the Austin-San Antonio corridor. It will be interesting to see if alternate modes of public transportation will be revisited. If you have story ideas to share with us, please send them to sbknews@communityimpact.com. Heather Demere, GENERAL MANAGER
