Develop Austin Texas

While Austin is featured in the top spot of Forbes’ list, 2008 brought in accolades for other parts of the Austin Area, as well.

Fortune Small Business Magazine named Georgetown their number two, second best place to “Live and Launch,” that is, to live and start/move your business. North of Austin, Georgetown offers a quieter suburban environment than the heart of the city, but still an optimal place to live and work. Fortune’s reasons for this choice?

- Georgetown welcomed 270 new businesses in 2007 and 2008

- The state of Texas has no individual or corporate income taxes

- Georgetown’s property taxes are among the lowest in the region, and Georgetown has low water and electricity rates

- The area has other business development efforts that offer camaraderie for entrepeneurs, and a convention center slated to open this summer.

Money Magazine selected another north Austin suburb, Round Rock, as their #7 Best Place to Live for 2008. North of Austin but south of Georgetown, Money Magazine reports that Round Rock features:

- Affordable Housing

- Great Schools

- Dell Headquarters (offering jobs and a strong IT presence for Round Rock and Austin)

- Three medical centers

- A Texas State University campus

- Shopping (featuring IKEA and the Round Rock Premium Outlets mall)

- A minor league baseball team.
