ATX-BAS: Impact 10/2/2025

Revelry is among the latest master-planned communities under construction in Central Texas.

The project is located on the northwest corner of Pearce Lane and Wolf Lane where Travis County and Bastrop County meet.

The details: A short drive from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Circuit of the Americas and the Tesla Gigafactory, Revelry will span 1,400 acres when complete, according to Avision Young, a global real estate advisory firm.

“With a city-approved master plan, Revelry will feature approximately 2,300 single-family homes upon completion, alongside dynamic commercial spaces that invite innovation and local enterprise,” Avision Young said in a news release. “The community is anchored by bold public art and amenities that reflect East Austin’s eclectic character, offering a unique sense of place for residents and businesses alike.”

Starwood Land acquired the Revelry project, formerly known as Mirador, from Houston-based Hines in early 2025 as part of a $800 million portfolio acquisition.

The Bastrop County Youth Summit will be held Oct. 14 at the Bastrop Convention and Exhibit Center. 

This year's theme is “roots of change.”

The details: The annual event at 1408 Chestnut St., Bastrop, geared toward children aged 14-18 and students in grades 9-12, will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

“This is a day dedicated to age-appropriate mental health chats, art, civic engagement and more,” Krystal Grimes, founder of the Heal Alliance, said in a news release. “Youth will also enjoy great food, music and connection time to understand how to advocate for themselves and others.”

There will be representatives from four local school districts:

• Bastrop ISD 
• Elgin ISD 
• McDade ISD 
• Smithville ISD

A San Antonio-based grocery chain with a stronghold across Texas is now facing a change in leadership.

In case you missed it: H-E-B President Craig Boyan announced his intention to step down from his role, effective in January 2026.

He’ll subsequently retire at the end of next year, according to a Sept. 30 news release from the company.

As a result, current H-E-B Chief Operating Officer Roxanne Orsak will take his place.

Zooming in: Orsak started her career at H-E-B in 1988 as a store manager, rising through the ranks to become the COO in 2022, according to the release.

“I am honored to continue to shape the future of this great company with integrity, heart and a relentless pursuit of excellence,” Orsak said.

The context: The leadership change comes in tandem with H-E-B’s continued expansion in Texas.

New storefronts in San Antonio, Georgetown, Prosper and more have opened within the last two months, as previously reported by Community Impact.
