Josh Schroeder - Georgetown Mayor

Recap of June 11, 2026 Council Meeting
1) Southwestern 560 Project of City Customer Service Center – Council received an update on the customer service center we are building in Southwestern’s new development adjoining its campus. As the anchor tenant to phase one of the development, the City hopes to be the catalyst to a project that could transform our community and provide the revenue to help sustain Southwestern in perpetuity. The renderings for the building look amazing, and it’s great to see how efficient the design is while still providing room for us to grow in the future. Most importantly, by providing a central location for all of the departments that provide services to the community, we can make things easier on our citizens as they interact with the City.
2) Perky Beans – Council approved an application for a new business on University near St. Helen’s Catholic Church. The business is primarily a coffee shop, but they’ll also function as a café with beer, wine, and coffee-based cocktails. Folks have asked for more options on the east side of town for years now, so it’s great to see more activity in this area.
