HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: It feels like every month we’re writing about new development claiming another block or neighborhood in Central Austin, and this month is no di erent. The focus of our front-page story is the Rainey Street District. Reporter Ben Thompson provides an update on the projects going vertical in the coming months and how the continued transformation of the historic street is a ecting public safety. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: After the state announced a planned conservatorship in Austin ISD and Department of Public Safety troopers began patrolling Austin streets, we heard a lot of concern from community members. In this issue, we provide context around the state's intervention in Austin ISD (Page 16) we look deeper into the DPS partnership (Page 19). Darcy Sprague, EDITOR
