Plan for trail that connects multiple cities moves forward in Williamson County

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — The Williamson County Commissioner's Court approved hiring an architecture group to design and engineer a trail that will connect multiple cities across the county.

At the commissioner court's meeting Tuesday morning, leaders approved Halff Associates to design the project.

According to the meeting's agenda, the Southwest Regional Trail will connect to the Brushy Creek Regional Trail. The project would essentially connect communities from Georgetown all the way to Hutto with a walking and biking path.

The cost of the project is $493,630, part of which could potentially be paid for with a bond election later this year, said Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey.
