🌲 Big Moves in Travis County: A New Park on the Horizon
In other news, Travis County just scored a major win for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The county has clinched a deal to purchase 1,506 acres of land, known as RGK Ranch, near Spicewood to create a massive new public park. Here’s why this is a big deal:
- A Deal for the Ages: The land was sold to the county at a significant discount by the family of Austin tech pioneer George Kozmetsky, prioritizing conservation over commercial development.
- Size Matters: Imagine a park over 4 times the size of Zilker Park. Yeah, it’s going to be huge!
- Conservation Goals: Besides offering a new recreational haven, this park will protect vital wildlife habitats and watersheds, safeguarding our region’s natural beauty for future generations.
