The activity center defined by the City of Hutto represents the Sustainable Places Project demonstration area chosen for the first phase of long-term development in Hutto’s future.

Land use in the activity center can model sustainable growth

according to Hutto’s values. Affordability, walkability, jobs-

housing balance, air quality, and open space are indicators

used to paint a vision of environmental, economic, and

social sustainability.All Sources:City of Hutto, Temple College, Google Images, Photographer Bianca Bidiuc

In this scenario, future growth in the activity

center is guided by Hutto’s values to provide

upscale and retirement housing options, family-

friendly walkable neighborhoods in close

proximity to schools, and Hutto’s first major

grocery store.

Hutto’s activity center can be a model for sustainable

growth, providing multiple housing

options, appropriate jobs-housing balance,

and sparking a vibrant local economy, while

preserving open spaces and environmental

resources.
