Here are the top stories in North Austin-Pflugerville today:

  1. In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, some city facilities in the city of Pflugerville will be closed. For information on the holiday schedule for the city offices and facilities, and for emergency contact information during the holiday closures, please visit: (Press Release Desk)
  2. "Following the call for additional education about health measures and vigilance in the spread of COVID-19," Travis County is requiring all businesses to "post COVID-19 educational signage" starting Monday, Jan. 17 at noon. This order pertains to every "'site' (defined as property where goods and services are provided directly to the public) in Pflugerville and other cities in Travis County." For more information, please visit: (pflugervilletx.gov)
  3. Several revisions were being considered by Pflugerville officials for the Lakeside Meadows development, including "rezoning approximately 61 acres of the development's corporate campus section to campus industrial," but some city council members were concerned that "campus industrial zoning would not fit the original vision of the development." Although "the amendments were up for approval at council's Jan. 11 meeting," they postponed the item until the next meeting on January 25 so that "city staff could address some of their concerns."
