Serenity Ranch ETJ MUD consent agreement

Georgetown

Summary

A 112-acre mixed development east of I-35 near County Road 150 won first-reading approval 4-2 after a motion to deny failed. Supporters point to County Road 150 widening and a future arterial segment; critics question $61 million in MUD debt (about $57,000 per lot) and whether an ETJ project delivers real benefit to the city.

Future residents of the development and users of the widened County Road 150; the developer gains financing tools.
