Development
BY ANNA MANESS
A new outdoor event space in downtown Georgetown is projected to open in August. The Light and Water Works District project is situated between the Georgetown Public Library and the Light and Water Works building, according to previous Community Impact reporting. Upon completion, the space will include a stage, event lawn, shaded structure and food truck area. Construction for the Light and Water Works District began Jan. 17, and parking and driveway demolition on the project is complete, according to the city’s website. In addition to the district’s new festival space, the city’s Downtown Master Plan suggests transforming the water works building into a food or market hall. Work begins on city event space

Existing buildings Upcoming features Light and Water Works District
The Light and Water Works District is part of Georgetown’s $2.35 million City Center project, which looks to blend downtown buildings—such as the library, water works building and city hall—together. Discussions to create the communal event space date back to 2020, according to previous Community Impact reporting. While city documents previously showed construction finishing July 7 at the earliest, new city information shows the space will open Aug. 15.
