Williamson County will apply for over $1.4 million in federal grants to support the juvenile justice system and help prevent at-risk youth from entering the justice system following commissioner approval at a meeting Oct. 14.

Explained: The federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention offers grants for local governments to fund programs or other intervention initiatives that prevent juvenile delinquency.

Travis County approved a new deal ensuring the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Oct. 16 which will now continue at Circuit of the Americas through 2034.

The big picture: The adrenaline-fueled event draws more than 430,000 fans annually—nearly 70% from out of state—and generates over $1 billion in economic activity across Travis County each October, according to county documents.

By endorsing the race, the county allows organizers to apply for state funding through the governor’s major events program, which helps cover event costs but does not include any property tax breaks for COTA. Since debuting in Austin in 2012, Formula 1 has generated more than $10 billion regionally.
