📰 News we're reading
• Hutto City Council takes next step toward city-run fire department (communityimpact.com) — Hutto City Council has formally signaled its intent to provide fire services for newly annexed areas, a key step toward creating a city-run fire department and future stations. The 6-1 vote lets the city manager notify Williamson County ESD 3 and secure web domains, while leaders continue studying long-term costs and planning a new station near the Hutto Megasite. 
• Skybox seeks rezoning for Hutto Megasite (taylorpress.net) — Hutto residents should know that City Council just approved rezoning 140 acres in the Hutto Megasite so Skybox Datacenters can pre-build a data center and power station site, even without a tenant yet. The approval requires closed-loop cooling, compliance with Hutto development codes, and paying local sales taxes on construction and power generation, potentially shaping future jobs and infrastructure near you.
• Hutto Hippos struggle against Rouse (taylorpress.net) — Hutto sports fans saw the Lady Hippos drop a straight-set home match to Rouse, continuing an up-and-down volleyball season marked by both long winning and losing streaks. The team now turns its focus to a key district rematch at Vista Ridge on Oct. 2, hoping to reverse an earlier 3-0 loss and build some late-season momentum.
