Georgetown updates its Downtown Master Plan with seven priority projects around the Williamson County Courthouse. Plans seek to reshape Seventh Eighth and Main streets by widening sidewalks, adding trees and outdoor dining, and replacing lost parking with a new downtown garage funded by debt and private funds.

The Southern Gateway at Austin Avenue and University would feature two monument signs and possible paving. The Northern Gateway near the Austin Avenue Bridge south of the San Gabriel River includes two monument signs and enhanced landscaping. Funding from future bond election and Downtown TIRZ.
The city plans a pedestrian oriented art walk from Church Street to MLK Jr Street to link Georgetown Arts Center with the Library City Center and City Hall. It includes bike parking benches a traffic light at Ninth and Austin and retains north side on street parking. Future redevelopments include mixed use builds on Ninth Street and Red Poppy Lot. Funding sources include Arts and Culture Board grants private funds HOT and a future bond election with several agencies involved.
The plan would link University Avenue to Blue Hole Park with a two way bike lane and sidewalks plus a landscaped buffer. County properties including the jail sheriff's office and parking lot are potential sites though Williamson County延期 remains in place.
