Families gathered in East Austin's Rosewood Park this Saturday to celebrate Juneteenth. 

Austin residents may see a change in the way they commute as the City Council is revisiting the potential

Dozens of Austin residents joined the throngs of dogs and joggers at Lady Bird Lake on Saturday in an annual cleanup project hosted by Keep Austin Beautiful.

The plan proposed by The Economic Growth and Redevelopement Services Office would allow the city to access the New Markets Tax Credit Program, which channels billions of dollars in federal tax credits to economically distressed areas.
“The intention of this fund is to create jobs and increase wages in these economically-distressed areas,” said Andy Moore, a policy aide to Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez.
