A new ARA Diagnostic Imaging location will open in Leander in early September, offering a range of medical scans, ARA President Dr. Greg Connor said in an email.

The details: Connor described the location as a “full-service center” that will offer scans, including:

• MRI
• CT
• Mammography
• Bone densitometry
• Ultrasound

The gravel parking lot at Liberty Hill City Park will be paved after City Council approved $2.5 million in funding for the project July 8.

The details: The gravel lot will be replaced with a 100,000-square-foot concrete surface by contractor Patin Construction. It will also be expanded, adding new wings to bring the total number of parking spots to 230.

The project will also include planting new trees around the park.

The parking lot renovation is necessary because of “tremendous growth” in the demand for parking at City Park during soccer season, city documents state.

Williamson County officials celebrated the grand opening of the Williamson County Administration Building on July 14 with a ribbon-cutting ahead of the first Commissioners Court meeting in the new facility.

The 120,000-square-foot county building houses customer-facing services like the tax assessor and county clerk's offices and will host Commissioners Court meetings going forward.

Key features of the new building include:

• An expanded county tax office with a drive-thru
• A new county clerk’s office
• A larger courtroom, which can be converted into a meeting space
