Setting itself apart, Hutto is among the few communities in Central Texas with a meticulously planned long-term water supply strategy. The city recently finalized the acquisition of equipment and rights to the Heart of Texas water supply, demonstrating its commitment to supporting numerous economic development projects.

Hutto, a dynamic and rapidly growing business hub, has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last two decades. From its beginnings as a quiet, rural Texas farm town with a population of 1,250, it has evolved into one of Austin’s fastest-growing suburbs, now boasting nearly 31,000 residents. 

Featuring a diverse range of 20 subdivisions catering to various budgets, Hutto offers a spectrum of amenities for its residents. The city’s unwavering commitment to green spaces is evident in the recent acquisition of a 65-acre park on Brushy Creek. With plans for a new open amphitheater and recreational spaces, Hutto is dedicated to providing for both current and future generations.

Embracing a live-work-play downtown concept, Hutto has developed a unique mixed-use, master-planned regional lifestyle destination. Situated on 25 acres adjacent to historic Downtown Hutto, this project seamlessly integrates the city’s rich past with its promising future.
