Written by Cathy Hale | September 7, 2017

The development along RR 620 is impossible to ignore. In the 3-mile stretch along RR 620 from Hwy. 71 to Oaks at Lakeway, you’ll see multiple commercial projects spanning the phases of construction from clearing land to framing to punch list.

Back in January 2015, we wrote about all of the new hotels headed to the Lake Travis area. At that time, the Sonesta Hotel was still under construction. We mentioned more hotels on the way including a La Quinta and a Marriott, both rumored to be at Lakeway Medical Village (322 Medical Parkway). Well, that’s still 50% accurate …

Today we’re taking a look at businesses headed this way including Marriott, La Quinta, and the new Schlotzsky’s special concept restaurant, Schlotzsky’s Austin Eatery.

Lake Travis Community Rallies to Support Harvey Relief Efforts

Written by Cathy Hale | August 31, 2017

God bless the doers. The people who take action to help someone in need. Their actions may seem small or insignificant at first, but in the long run, they are truly meaningful. Lucky for us we live in Lake Travis — a community full of doers who genuinely love their fellow Texans.

The outpouring of help for Harvey victims can be found throughout the Texas Hill Country. It seems like we’ve all been affected in one way or another. Everyone has a story to share.

As of writing this article, our community has family members and friends who are still stranded in flooded homes, hoping and praying that the water recedes. Beloved beach homes in Port Aransas and Rockport are smashed to pieces. Loved ones are missing and their families are frantically trying to find them. And the sad stories continue to emerge.

But instead of being paralyzed by hopelessness, Texans are coming together to ease the pain and provide relief for families (and animals) in need. Today we’ve got a roundup of local residents and businesses who are making a difference.
