    The Future of Leander

    Northline is Leander’s new downtown district - a unique destination where contemporary design meets the character and charm of Texas Hill Country tradition. From restaurants, retail and residential, to offices, a hotel and public gathering spaces, this urban mixed-use community will become the heart and soul of Leander and transform Williamson County. I sit down with Alex Tynberg to talk about the City of Leander's $4 Million dollar investment and what that means to the project 5 years removed from our original sit down.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lean-in-leander--4783524/support.

    Chains, Brains & Benbrook: Inside the story of Disc Golf in Leander

    We’re diving into the story of how a forgotten disc golf course in Central Texas became one of the fastest-growing, most-played in the region — and the people who made it happen. Joining me to talk about that and the upcoming Disc Golf Tournament in Leander is Alexander Erwin, current president of the Hill Country Hyzers Disc Golf Club. The club focuses on four tenets: improving existing courses through volunteer work, advocating for new course installations, bringing new players to the game, and donating to local charities. https://www.hyzers.org https://www.instagram.com/hchdiscgolfclub/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HillCountryHyzersDGC/ https://www.discgolfscene.com/club/10612/hill-country-hyzers-disc-golf-club https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournament/Benbrook_Summer_Smash_2025_presented_by_Red_Horn_Brewery_a_HoTT_Points_Event Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lean-in-leander--4783524/support.

    Who REALLY Manages Leander??

    City managers in Texas cities under home rule charters have greater autonomy to shape their roles and responsibilities compared to those in cities operating under general law. At a special meeting Monday, Sept. 18, 2023 Council approved a contract with recruiting firm Strategic Government Resources to assist in a formal search for a new city manager. The Leander City Council announced it selected its new city manager in March this year.Todd Parton, a Texas native, was chosen for the role. His first day was April 16, 2024. As City Manager, Todd Parton oversees all city operations and personnel, enforces city policies and procedures, and manages the city budget. The city manager reports to City Council who represent the citizens of Leander. I was able to have the pleasure of sitting down with Todd and asking a few questions to help me, and by extension, you the listener to get to know him.
