As a recent new resident of Texas and Elgin, I'd like to share a couple of my thoughts after having been here eight months.
First of all, thank you for the "Best of the Best" supplement. Being new to Texas and new to Elgin, it's been very difficult to find out about goods and services in our community. We need to keep our tax dollars here to support our community.
The rural communities we serve in Bastrop County are a short drive from Interstate 10 and Interstate 35. Residents, businesses, farmers, and law enforcement officers rely on those regional and statewide highways to visit family and customers, ship supplies and products, and keep the area safe.
We hope you all had a safe and happy Easter break. It has been a challenging few months but spring in Central Texas is the best! Our hope and optimism is high for good things ahead!
