Lakeway approves updated comprehensive plan outlining vision for city

Lakeway City Council approved updates to the city’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan on March 16, marking the completion of a process started in May 2024 to revise and update documents guiding the city’s future.

Diving in deeper: Cities use comprehensive plans to steer decisions surrounding land use, transportation, infrastructure, community identity and more. The city’s most recent comprehensive plan update was in 2020.

For the city of Lakeway, this document was created with the help of several community dialogue sessions and input from more than 2,000 community participants, according to the city.

Some changes in the plan include the creation of a “dynamic core” zone on the future land use map, or FLUM, specifically in areas along RM 620 and Hwy. 71.

What else? Additionally, the plan outlines a number of transportation priorities, including proposed roads and off-street trails that seek to increase connectivity beyond RM 620 and develop more trail and sidewalk connectivity, respectively.

What’s next? The city plans to launch a dashboard allowing residents to see progress on comprehensive plan goals.

Texas families now have until March 31 to apply for education savings accounts, judge rules

Texas families now have an additional two weeks to apply for the state’s new education savings account program, a Houston federal judge ruled March 17.

What's happening: U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett ordered the state comptroller’s office to extend the application deadline to March 31 over concerns that no Islamic private schools had been greenlit to accept state ESA funds. In two lawsuits filed in early March, four Muslim parents said they felt deterred from applying for education savings accounts because the Islamic schools they send their children to were not among the 2,200 schools authorized to participate in the program.

Parents previously had until 11:59 p.m. March 17 to apply for the program.

Latest update: In a March 17 news release, the comptroller’s office confirmed that applications would be accepted through March 31 in compliance with the judge’s order.

Over 229,000 students had applied for the $1 billion program as of March 17, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock said. The state will use a need- and income-based lottery system to determine who is accepted.
