Kelly donates funds from office budget to parkland

Council Member Mackenzie Kelly has contributed $150,000 – saved from her office budget during her term – toward the improvement of a piece of undeveloped parkland. The site is located at the intersection of Spicewood Springs Road and Old Lampasas Trail. “This funding will help transform this space into a vibrant area where families can gather and enjoy nature,” she said in a prepared statement. Kelly said she plans to help conduct community feedback sessions with residents near the parkland to determine how best to use the money in service of the community’s parks and recreational needs.
