Dripping Springs readies for Old Fitzhugh project

Bringing walkability, as well as connecting mixed-use development to Mercer Street is something Dripping Springs city leaders are envisioning for its planned improvements to Old Fitzhugh Road.

The project, an initiative spurred by the city and Hays County, will continue the downtown aesthetic the city is looking for.

Mercer Street, which is a hub for local mom and pop shops, breweries, city hall and other businesses, will blend itself to Old Fitzhugh, connecting the two historic areas into one central shared use path. Dripping Springs showcased its vision during an open house on the improvements May 23.
