The Corridor H (Sam Bass Road) Open House Was Held at the Round Rock Presbyterian Church on May 17, 2018

Williamson County is conducting a study to develop a plan for improvements for Sam Bass Road between RM 1431 and Wyoming Springs Drive, referred to as Corridor H. Corridor H would identify opportunities to enhance safety and mobility to accommodate current traffic and anticipated growth. Preliminary studies are underway by K Friese + Associates.

The County believes community input makes better projects, and opportunities for community members to get involved will continue throughout the planning process. 

Williamson County wants to hear from you, and public input is encouraged at any time. For more information or to schedule a meeting with the study team, please contact us in one of the following ways:

Oped by Commissioner Cook

I recently learned how to prepare a full meal for four in 30 minutes that was economical, low-fat and delicious. This dinner even included a healthier version of tres leches cake for dessert. 

A group of about 50 attended the Williamson County AgriLife Healthy Cooking School, the first held in Round Rock, on April 16 led by Chelsea Stevens.

Trained specialists incorporate basic nutrition, food safety, shopping on a budget and food preparation skills into these free classes. They also explore the relationship between agriculture and healthy eating.

The Healthy Cooking School is part of the Family and Community Health Program headed by Stevens, one of five AgriLife agents for Wilco. This event has been hosted seven other times in the county since 2014, four in Georgetown and two in Liberty Hill.

The Family and Community Health Program is one of many educational programs of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, that oversees a network of 250 county Extension offices covering all 254 Texas counties with 900 professional educators. (Click on Read More Below)

Commissioner Cook is shown chatting with local officials and friends at the Kalahari Resort and Convention groundbreaking in Round Rock on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. The African-themed water park and convention center is family-owned and scheduled to open in 2020.
