Georgetown officials outlined a $332 million capital improvement plan for its electric utilities infrastructure at an April 14 City Council workshop, including constructing an Electric Utility Operations Center in the coming years.

About the plan: The operations center building alone accounts for 16% of the utility's five-year CIP, according to city documents. The project includes identifying a site and purchasing land in fiscal year 2026-27, and constructing the facility in FY 2027-28.

The estimated cost for about 15 acres of land is $7.84 million, and it will cost the city approximately $52.5 million to design and construct the facility.

What else: Other projects include:

• $72.4 million for projects driven by customer growth and new development
• $57 million for capacity and upgrades in the electric plant
• $31 million for infrastructure relocation for road widenings
• $30.8 million for replacements

Texans interested in casting a ballot in next month’s primary runoff election have until April 27 to register to vote or update their registration, if applicable.

The background: Texas’ primary runoff election will be held May 26. A runoff is held when no candidate secures over half of the vote in a partisan primary race.

Registering to vote: Prospective voters must submit a paper application, which is available online. Applications must be printed, signed and mailed to the voter registration office in a voter’s county of residence.

On the ballot: Various federal, state and local races will appear on the May 26 runoff ballot.

At the top of the ticket, Republican voters will pick between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton to determine the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate. The winner of that race will face state Rep. James Talarico, D-Austin, in November.

Something to note: The runoff election is separate from upcoming local elections, which take place May 2. Visit www.communityimpact.com/voter-guide for more information about those elections.
