A Note from the Executive Director
It is an exciting time to be in Hutto, Texas. Hutto just celebrated its 100th birthday with a successful Centennial weekend. Over the next few months, several projects will begin that will positively impact Hutto's next 100 years. Water and wastewater projects will begin that will position Hutto to leverage SH-130 as a great economic development amenity, Temple College and Texas State Technical College will begin development on one of the most significant project in Hutto's history. The development of a unique higher education campus in Hutto that will serve our region will reap tremendous benefits for generations.We are living in a great time in Hutto's history by getting to experience it from the begining.
Please let me or the economic development staff know if we can be of assistance to you. I look forward to visiting with you at one of our Second Thursday Power Breakfast.
Warmest regards,
Scott Martinez, CEcD
Hutto Economic Development Corporation
