LOCKHART, Texas (Austin Business Journal) — Over 1,400 rooftops are slated to rise south of Austin as the city of Lockhart continues to grow.
Lockhart City Council on June 18 approved the addition of a 472-acre municipal utility district, called Juniper Springs, from Houston-based Perry Homes to the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, a move that required the ETJ to be expanded by 88 acres.
The new MUD would allow 1,428 homes to be built on the western edge of Lockhart along State Highway 142, officials said during the meeting. That amount of homes could result in dramatic population growth for Lockhart, a city that’s attracted big projects and industrial development in recent years.
