Dirt is moving at the site of a 57-acre residential and commercial project at the southeast corner of Westinghouse Road and FM 1460 in Georgetown. 

What you need to know: Site work for a future residential and commercial project began in January. 

Located at 3001 FM 1460, Georgetown, the property is the site of the Junction at 1460 development, a project of the Blackburn Group. The development is set to bring hundreds of single- and multifamily homes to the Westinghouse Road corridor.

Dr. Daniel J. Leeman, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and ear, nose and throat specialist, opened a new clinic near the Georgetown and Round Rock border in January.

A closer look: Services at the new location include treatment for allergies, deviated septum, nasal congestion, hearing loss, tinnitus, ear infections, tonsillitis and sleep disorders, among other common ENT-related issues.

The practice also provides otoplasty and rhinoplasty facial surgeries.

Learn more: Leeman, alongside Dr. Shawn Allen, audiologist Kristopher Brown, and physical and medical assistants, sees patients.

This is the third Central Texas location for Leeman, with existing clinics in Austin's Mueller and Onion Creek areas.

From a state office building to a gas station and more, here are five of the most expensive projects filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in the Austin metro this week.

1. Texas Facilities Commission Pflugerville State Office Building: A four-story, 100,000-square-foot site featuring a conferencing center, flexible work suites and offices will house two state agencies.

2. Crescent Bluff West sections nine and 10 in Georgetown: The subdivision is slated to grow larger with an additional 3,384,612 square feet of single-family residential space. 

3. Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Pflugerville: Seating for 300 people, restrooms, classrooms and offices are among the amenities planned for a one-story, 16,644-square-foot sanctuary.

4. Fuel Hub in San Marcos: Motorists traveling through San Marcos will have another place to fill their tanks once a 20,500-square-foot facility is constructed. 

5. Cash America Pawn in Austin: A pawn shop will be rebuilt on its existing site after the previous facility was damaged in a fire. It will total 5,156 square feet when complete. 

Over 2.3 million Democrats and nearly 2.2 million Republicans voted in the March 3 election, according to unofficial election results from the secretary of state. Totaling nearly 4.5 million voters, this is “the highest voter turnout for a primary in Texas history,” the secretary of state’s office said.

By the numbers: Nearly one-fourth of Texas’ 18.7 million registered voters participated in the primaries, shattering turnout rates from recent years. Less than one-fifth of registered voters cast ballots in the 2024 presidential and 2022 midterm primaries, state election records show.

Texas’ previous primary turnout record was set in 2008, when 4.2 million voters cast ballots in high-profile presidential primaries.

Zooming in: Election data shows the most people cast votes in the high-profile U.S. Senate races that topped the ticket, with the total numbers of votes steadily decreasing down the ballot in both primaries.

There is “some certainty” that voter enthusiasm will extend to the November midterm election, Republican data analyst Ross Hunt told Community Impact during early voting.
