A filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows a 248,687-square-foot sorting warehouse is coming to Georgetown.

Amazon.com Services is listed on the filing as the facility's owner.

A closer look: The filing states the warehouse will include a robotic sorting and storage area, specialty and cold storage, and offices and support areas.

It lists the project as a SSD facility, which stands for Sub Same Day, meaning the warehouse will specialize in getting customers their packages in less than a day, according to Amazon documents.

The details: Costing $48 million, construction on the facility is expected to start in late August and last through July 2027, per the filing.

The address listed is located near the Gateway 35 industrial development south of the intersection of I-35 and SH 130.

A representative with Amazon.com Services could not confirm the upcoming Georgetown location. Community Impact will update this story as more information becomes available.

Liberty Hill officials gave the green light in late June to fund $933,609 to move wastewater mains as part of a project that will expand a stretch of Hwy. 29, a partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation.

Two-minute impact: TxDOT is currently finalizing plans to widen Hwy. 29 from CR 322 in Bertram to the Butler Farms subdivision to allow for the addition of a middle turn lane, city documents state. During the design process, the state determined that the city’s wastewater mains would be in the way of that project.

Because Liberty Hill built the utility lines within the state’s right of way, the city is responsible for moving them, Deputy City Manager Brandon Pritchett said. Liberty Hill City Council approved an advanced funding agreement June 24, allowing the city and state to combine the work each is responsible for into one project.

Lone Star Circle of Care has now brought mobile mammography services to communities across Central Texas for five years. The Big Pink Bus launched in July 2021, increasing access to breast cancer screening in the region, according to a news release.

“For five years, the Big Pink Bus has brought life-saving mammography services directly to women across Central Texas,” said Jon Calvin, CEO of Lone Star Circle of Care. “This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to early detection and expanding access to care.”

The local impact: Since its initial launch, the bus has given over 10,000 mammograms, and over 80 of those patients were diagnosed with breast cancer through their initial screenings. In the last five years, the bus has traveled over 53,000 miles through Central Texas counties, including Bastrop, Hays, Travis and Williamson.
