Bastrop weighs regional economic collaboration

Hospital study funded as EDC sets goals

BASTROP — Bastrop leaders last month appeared ready to dip a toe into the pool of regional economic development, but discussions showed more clarity is needed before committing city resources.

City Manager Sylvia Carrillo said she believes regional collaboration could work during a Bastrop Economic Development Corporation meeting Jan. 27. The topic first came up following an Austin Business Journal Economic Summit late last year.
