Thank you for 13 years! 👏 During Gary's tenure, the City invested over $333 million in transportation improvements and added 300+ lane miles among other projects that changed Round Rock's landscape.

Google Fiber is making lightning fast progress, y’all! 🛜 The first Round Rock residents are expected to have access to GFiber and the ability to “go live” with the service this August. Microtrenching construction to lay fiber lines will continue throughout the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, with service becoming available to more Round Rock residents as portions of the network are completed in their area. To date more than 300,000 linear feet of microtrenching has been completed in Round Rock, which is approximately 10% of the total 3.3 million linear feet required to service the entire community. City staff are working closely with Google Fiber and associated construction crews to mitigate impacts as the network is installed. Flyers and doorhangers will be placed in neighborhoods to alert residents when construction is near being active in their area. If you have questions or concerns during active microtrenching, GFiber has a hotline set up to provide additional information at 877-454-6959. Residents interested in the service can sign up for availability updates at https://fiber.google.com/
