City-owned property in downtown Pflugerville could become the site of a new business, as the city is seeking proposals to redevelop or repurpose a building along East Pecan Street.

Overview: The city of Pflugerville owns an 1,845-square-foot building in the downtown area, which formerly was home to a barbershop and speciality shop.

As the city continues efforts to revitalize the downtown area, experienced developers, restaurateurs, retailers and entertainment operators are invited to submit proposals to redevelop the building.

The city of Pflugerville and city of Hutto is working on multiple projects to improve water infrastructure, parking and more. Catch up on these four stories from Pflugerville and Hutto.

1. Pflugerville awarded $750K for major water infrastructure improvements: The city of Pflugerville has been awarded $750,000 in federal Community Project Funding to support construction of new water infrastructure needed to accommodate continued growth along the SH 45 corridor.

What you need to know: The funding, announced Feb. 6 during a press conference with Mayor Doug Weiss and U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, will help pay for the design and construction of a 5 million-gallons-per-day pump station and a 1.25 million-gallon ground storage.

2. Portion of Gilleland Creek Trail in Pflugerville to close: As the city of Pflugerville continues work on its Downtown East project, a portion of Gilleland Creek Trail will close to allow construction on future connections to the city hub and the Monarch Recreation Center.

The Lower Colorado River Authority is conducting studies to determine if a site northwest of Eagle Lake in Colorado County would be suitable for a new, larger water reservoir. 

The details: LCRA already owns the 2,000-acre site, which could add over 13 billion gallons to the Central Texas water supply amid growing water needs. 

Two-minute impact: The river authority, which supplies water and hydroelectric power to many communities throughout Central Texas, is exploring plans to build a new reservoir that could hold up to 90,000 acre feet of water. That would make it larger than the recently opened Arbuckle Reservoir, or two to three times the capacity of Lake Travis. 

Why now? A new reservoir off the river authority's main channel was established in its Water Supply Resource Report, an overview of strategies to address regional water needs, that was approved last year, according to a Feb. 19 news release.
