New community hub in Barrett Township

🌟 Community Engagement Spotlight for #EconDevWeek 🌟 The PCDC has funded $250,000 in community engagement grants for Parks and Recreation improvements! 🌳 Shade structures at Black Locust Park and Pflugerville Heights Park help extend playtime, protect children from UV rays, and keep playgrounds cooler. With these upgrades, 25 citywide playgrounds now have shade. 🌤️ Improvements to Royal Pointe Park, including new shades, an upgraded basketball court, new swings, and hardware, rejuvenate the park system, lowering the average age of equipment to just 7.7 years! ❓Why are these upgrades important? Enhanced parks and recreation facilities attract families, increase property values, and promote health and wellness—key elements that boost community engagement and economic development. #PflugervilleGrows #ParkImprovements #InvestInProgress #CommunityDevelopment#pflugerville #PflugervilleTX #EconDevWeek #InvestInProgress #EconDevWeek2024 #EcoDevWeek #EDWeek2024 #EconomicInnovation #CommunityDevelopment #EconomicDevelopmentHeroes #IEDC #PCDC

Is It Necessary to Build a Big House in the Village? Dear Friends, Have you ever dreamed of having a big, beautiful house in your village? A place where you can feel close to your roots and relax away from the busy city? It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? But let's think about it a bit more. Most of us live in the city and only visit our village for a few days a year. So, is it really necessary to build a huge house there? Think About What Matters Most Building a big house in the village can show our success and love for our heritage. But if we are only there for a short time, is it worth it? Could we use that money for something more useful? Feelings and Reality It feels good to have a nice home in our village. It's a place where family can gather and make happy memories. But a big house that stays empty most of the time can be hard to take care of and expensive. Better Choices Maybe instead of a big house, a smaller, cozy home would be better. It would be easier to look after and still be a wonderful place to visit. Or, we could use the money to help our village in other ways, like supporting local schools or community projects. Making the Right Decision We need to balance our dreams with what we really need. Let’s make choices that bring us happiness and help others too. Whether you decide to build that big house or choose something else, make sure it’s a decision that makes you feel good inside. In the end, what matters is that our choices bring us joy and help us stay connected to our roots. Warm regards, Digajmaan Mishra

One week left before my special online workshop on "Grassroots Organizing: How to Get Your Cohousing Project Launched"! Are you in the process of starting to create cohousing or another important community amenity? Or maybe you're considering embarking on this adventure? This course could be perfect for you. Organizing is the long-lost art of working with people to make things happen locally. At this juncture, where national governments are debilitated by division and divisiveness, we need to work at the neighborhood level to get things done. In essence, the formula is about initiative – who do I have to talk to today? You wake up and figure out what is the next step to move the project forward. So many important projects have gotten bogged down...this course will help you jump start them with gusto. There will be time at the end for Q&A. Join us!
