Georgetown has also surpassed the 100,000 population threshold, with an estimated 101,344 based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 estimates, published Thursday, May 15.  Georgetown saw 4.76 percent growth from 2023 to 2024, when data was gathered, and has grown by 47.49 percent since 2020.
Georgetown is considering two options for trail segments leading from Berry Springs Park and Preserve to the future Westside Park. Proposal 1 shows the trail going around the neighborhood. The first phase of building would include the blue and green sections of the trail. Proposal 2 shows the trail running along the creek and through the Berry Creek neighborhood.
