Lake Travis Local: Why Female Entrepreneurs Thrive in Texas

Written by Cathy Hale | September 17, 2015

We know our slice of the Texas Hill Country is known for many great things. Yes, the Live Music Capital of the World consistently sits atop practically every “Best Of” list for living, working, eating and playing in the United States. What you might not know is it ranks highly as a great city (and state) for female entrepreneurs.

We actually joked about it internally because we felt bad for the fellas. Our local ladies like Wendi Aarons, Heather Campbell-Green, Holly Mills-Gardner, Karen Killough, Jenny Cokins, Candace Thrash and Whitney Hengstebeck (just to name a few!) were snagging the spotlight.

Written by Mandy Spivey | September 14, 2015

You may have already heard the news around Hudson Bend, but there are some big changes going on around these parts.

With so much expansion happening in the Lake Travis area, several neighborhoods are experiencing growing pains that come along with it. As more and more businesses seek to call the area home, people and families come with them from all parts of Texas and the country.
