Construction is officially underway on Pflugerville’s Downtown East Project. The groundbreaking marks a major milestone for the city, which anticipates that the new development will create an extension of Pflugerville eastward to the northwest corner of FM 685 and E. Pecan Street.
“Through this Downtown East Project, we construct a first-of-its-kind space for Pflugerville residents and visitors to enjoy,” Mayor Victor Gonzales said. “It is a significant undertaking and shows the commitment of your city government with this investment in our downtown. It is a testament to hardworking community members who advocated for shared and social spaces including a city hall, multi-generational recreation center and civic plaza. Once complete, this project offers a profound impact on our City, as it extends downtown Pflugerville, encourages a walk along the Gilleland Creek Trail, and welcomes residents to gather in the heart of our city.”
The first construction phase extends Main Street eastward to FM 685 and introduces new community assets, including a new City Hall, a multi-generational recreation center, a central plaza, parking, and supporting infrastructure. The Civic Plaza will include outdoor gathering spaces, a stage for performances and nature-inspired play areas, and aspace for community engagement.
This project encompasses 19 goals put forth by the City of Pflugerville aimed at creating a lively and economically robust downtown extension.
