More Low Income Housing Proposed for Georgetown

Two more low income housing projects are on the City Council agenda for Tuesday, February 23. Again, these developers are requesting a resolution of support or no objection for their projects so that they can apply for housing tax credits.

The proposed developments Mariposa at Georgetown Village and Cypress Creek at Georgetown Village are shown on the map.

Mariposa consists of 180 units and Cypress Creek plans call for 220 units.

The city Housing Advisory Board recommend resolutions of support for both developments and the city staff recommends disapproval for both developments.

It is curious to note that all five of the recently proposed low income housing developments are several miles northwest of downtown Georgetown, where there is no public transportation, and none are proposed in and around the downtown area. These 832 units will result in much more traffic on Williams Drive as each unit will have 2+ plus automobiles. To gain an appreciation for the parking and traffic problems take a drive down Hedgewood Dr after 6pm.  Hedgewood is off Williams Drive near Serenada.

Engage your City Council person if you are concerned or want more information.
