Mayor's Welcome Letter
Welcome to the City of Georgetown, Texas. Georgetown is a beautiful city strategically located on IH 35 at the northern edge of the Austin Metro area. On the banks of the cool, clear San Gabriel River, Georgetown is a city rich in both business and residential amenities. These amenities include low taxes, a City-owned utility, dual rail service, low crime and a friendly community dedicated to preserving its history while providing an environment where businesses can succeed.
The Georgetown City Government works with the County Government, Chamber of Commerce, Southwestern University, and the Georgetown Independent School District to create and implement programs that address the needs of our business community and foster new opportunities. We also work together to provide attractive programs and incentives to assist companies locating in the City of Georgetown. We are committed to creating a vibrant, balanced, and diverse economy that benefits the whole city and region. Toward this goal, Georgetown citizens recently voted to create both 4A and 4B Corporations to increase Georgetown's ability to attract, retain and grow businesses.
I am proud to be part of a community that values and supports its local businesses and promotes and protects its natural resources. I invite you to explore Georgetown through this site or in person. We are ready and anxious to answer any of your questions and show you why so many businesses and citizens call Georgetown home.
