Nestled on the northern fringes of the Austin metropolitan area, adjacent to I-35, Georgetown proudly earned the title of the fastest-growing city in the nation in 2021. This extraordinary surge in growth, driven by the expansion of existing businesses and the establishment of new enterprises, resulted in a remarkable 8% increase in employment for the year—significantly surpassing the national average of 3.2%.

Georgetown distinguishes itself with its city-owned utility, Georgetown Utility Systems, providing 100% renewable power to all customers. This commitment to wind and solar power not only reduces pollution but also conserves water, enabling lower rates for electric customers. In anticipation of exponential growth, the city has undertaken major road improvements, including the Southwest bypass and the Mays Street extension. Adding to its appeal, Georgetown boasts a towered Reliever General Aviation Airport with a 5,004-foot runway and top-notch fixed-base operators, offering a viable alternative for business and recreational flights to and from Austin-Bergstrom.

The Georgetown Railroad, a short-line, dual-rail carrier, enhances connectivity by providing direct links to both Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads. A recent Target Industry and Workforce Analysis, commissioned by the city, revealed a labor shed of over 700,000 workers. The analysis underscored Georgetown’s thriving advanced manufacturing business community, along with burgeoning life sciences and healthcare sectors. Notably, national developers have taken notice of this growth and are actively engaged in planning or constructing office, retail, and flex space projects.

Georgetown stands out as a city where citizens and businesses alike benefit from abundant natural resources, excellent schools, low crime rates, a tightly-knit community, and a government that fosters a business-friendly environment.
