Plans for Downtown East project move forward Pflugerville City Council gave developers the green light for the next phase of Downtown East, which will include a new city hall, recreation center and destination retail space. What’s happening? City Council approved a preliminary agreement with developers Griffin Swinerton LLC on Nov. 28, finalizing negotiations with the company for the first phase of building plans for the city-owned property located northeast of the Pecan Street and FM 685 intersection. “The most important thing that you can do is to start,” Griffin Swinerton representative Korin Crawford said. “[The city] needs to create a destination. ...We put together a Phase 1 that was doable and achievable that creates the momentum for the subsequent phases down the road.” Total cost for Phase 1 of the project is estimated
Hutto cemetery seeks historical status The Hutto City Council approved a motion Nov. 2 to submit an application to the Texas Historical Commission for the recognition of the Shiloh Black Cemetery as an untold historical marker. The overview The cemetery, once used as a dumping site, has been restored to its original, grassy resting grounds by the efforts of the Black Families of Hutto. The group has performed several cleanups over recent years. Receiving designation and signage from the Texas Historical Commission would help preserve the site from future vandalism, according to the group. The cemetery was opened in the 1800s during the times of segregation and holds the remains of an estimated 130 individuals.
