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. 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 TAYLOR: We have made it through the rst few weeks back to school, and fall is just around the corner. You will nd plenty of things to do with friends and family on our regular To-Do List (see Pages 8-9) and our fall activities guide (see Pages 28-29). Our top front-page story by Editor Grace Dickens also addresses how back-to-school tra c is worsening an existing regional issue. So after a long week of navigating congestion, I invite you to curl up on the couch with some delicious cookies from award-winning local bakery Love & Cookies (see Page 27) and dive into this informative September issue. Reach out to us at ltwnews@communityimpact.com for feedback, story ideas, or to simply connect. We’d love to hear from you. As always, thank you all for reading, and cheers to a wonderful fall season ahead! Taylor Caranfa Stover, GENERAL MANAGER tstover@communityimpact.com
