TGIF, Lake Travis! Are you ready for a fun-filled weekend?
It’s been a dry winter, but the good news is according to LCRA, Lake Travis is 1.5 feet above average. This doesn’t mean it’s smooth sailing though. The drought conditions are bad and 97 counties across Texas — including Travis County — are under burn ban notices. But the lack of humidity is doing wonders for our favorite Hill Country vineyards, so cheers to that!
In case you missed us …
On Thursday, we addressed a nationwide problem that’s plaguing our Lake Travis neighborhoods too, parcel theft. If you’ve had these frustrating problems yourself, check out tips for what you can do to prevent it and what Lake Travis neighborhoods are doing to improve safety.
In other news …
The Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce held its annual economic forecast luncheon earlier this month and highlights included property value is on the rise, commercial development will continue, and road improvements will slowly help safety and traffic concerns along the 620 corridor. Plus, Lake Travis’ third middle school is already under construction and plans to be open for fall of 2019.
Have a great weekend, Lake Travis!
