Downtown visioning

Property and business owners, residents and city officials recently gathered at a series of forums called Old Town Pflugerville - Vision for Tomorrow. One of the meetings was a community visioning forum hosted by the Pflugerville Council of Neighborhood Associations. Discussions were about what the community believes is important in attracting visitors and encouraging economic growth in Old Town, and how to balance residential and commercial interests. Mayor Jeff Coleman and members of the Pflugerville City Council attended the final combined stakeholder meeting. The city council will meet in a joint work session with the planning and zoning commission Dec. 15 to consider the draft recommendations and an assessment of consensus on key issues.

The following is a snapshot of current businesses in the area.
