Georgetown plans for second downtown parking garage

The city of Georgetown plans to construct a second downtown parking garage near East Ninth and South Main streets in a collaboration with the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool.

Officials with the city and TML discussed the details of their partnership at a May 26 City Council workshop.

What’s happening: TML will lead the design, permitting and construction of the garage, as well as pay for a portion of the project, Assistant City Manager Nick Woolery said at the meeting.

The partnership will allow TML, which is moving its headquarters from Austin to downtown Georgetown, to provide additional parking for employees during the week. During evenings, weekends and holidays, those spaces will be available for public use.

Digging deeper: Full construction is anticipated to begin in 2027, ahead of an early 2029 opening. The project will replace 134 existing parking spaces in the current lot, Woolery said.

8 of the nation’s fastest-growing cities are in Texas, census data shows

Texas was home to eight of the nation’s fastest-growth municipalities in 2025 as people continue moving to smaller cities in the state’s large metropolitan areas, new U.S. Census Bureau data shows.

The details: Celina, located about an hour north of Dallas, grew faster than any other U.S. city in 2025, according to the census data released May 14. The city grew by 24.6% between July 2024 and July 2025, and 64,427 people called Celina home as of July 1.

Fulshear, a 64,630-person city west of Houston, saw the second-fastest growth in the nation last year, at 21%.

What's happening: Helen You, interim director of the Texas Demographic Center, said the trend of people moving to smaller cities in major metros “is not unique to Texas."

The suburban boom comes amid a slowdown in overall population growth, according to previous Community Impact reporting. While Texas gained more new residents last year than any other U.S. state, growth slowed significantly amid a nationwide reduction in immigration from other countries.
