This is significant because it decreases the amount of tuition for Round Rock residents by almost 2/3′s. Along with decreasing tuition ACC plans to build and open it’s largest campus to date for 12,000 students right her in Round Rock.

I for one am glad that the measure passed. I have 3 little ones that will be going to college sometime in the future and it will save me a whole lot of money if they can do their first 2 years at ACC instead of at a university. Plus, they would be closer then if they went to school down in Austin which would be nice.

The other reason that I welcome the addition is that I live in the north eastern part of Round Rock and would really like to see the area developed into the huge educational center that they have planned. The owners of the land have a huge master plan to create an educational center that would allow students to get AA, BA, and MA degrees through a variety of schools that would have campuses in this area. They also want to have an emphasis on the medical field and have plans to have both of the new hospitals to become teaching hospitals.

I think the plans that Round Rock has for the area are great and l am looking forward to growing old here.
