The Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center (WCCAC) was joined by more than 100 guests as they celebrated breaking ground on the addition of a new 15,000 square foot building. The addition is location at 1811 SE Inner Loop in Georgetown. It will include crisis services, forensic interviews, family advocacy and a multi-disciplinary hub. An outdoor play area will also be added.

In addition, the current building is undergoing renovations. It includes new furniture, flooring and a therapy garden. The funding goal for the renovations and addition is $15.35 million. That includes a $9.8 million contribution from Williamson County.

“We are excited to announce that we are 71% of the way to our goal of raising $15.3 million towards our capital and comprehensive campaign,” said WCCAC Executive Officer Kerrie Stannell.  

The design for the addition and renovations was done by BLGY Architecture, and Vaughn Construction was the contractor.

“This building is the single most important building in Williamson County. It is a safe place where we take children when the worst things happen to them so that they can tell their story and then begin the healing process,” said Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell.
