Liberty Hill, Texas, is rapidly emerging as a prime destination for businesses seeking growth, community engagement, and strategic advantages. Located just 40 miles north of Austin, this once-small town has transformed into a bustling hub of opportunity, making it an ideal location for entrepreneurs and established companies alike.

POPULATION GROWTH, COMMERCIAL GROWTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Between 2020 and 2024, Liberty Hill's population surged by an astounding 236 percent, growing from 3,568 to nearly 12,000 residents. This rapid expansion is fueled by a supportive business climate. The EDC and ISD leadership are committed to accommodating this growth through significant infrastructure investments along with improvements to the educational process with a $23 million upgrade to Liberty Hill High School, a new Legacy Ranch High School, and the addition of an eighth elementary school. “Liberty Hill is experiencing a commercial boom with major retail developments,” Mayor Crystal Mancilla says. An estimated $75 million project will introduce a new Costco Wholesale and fuel station, while an estimated $22 million Target store is also under construction.

On the industrial front, the Platform 183 x 29 mixed-use project is set to deliver more than one million square feet of industrial space, positioning Liberty Hill as a competitive location for attracting large employers. To further enhance the city's appeal, this development includes plans for multifamily units and retail spaces.

Strategic Location And Infrastructure

Liberty Hill's strategic position offers seamless connectivity to major transportation routes, including US-183 and SH-29, linking the city to I-35 and facilitating easy access to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport just 42 miles southeast.

Diverse And Skilled Workforce

The city has a robust labor pool drawn from Williamson and Burnet Counties, totaling an estimated 378,000 individuals. Liberty Hill's local labor force exceeds 2,500, with more than 65 primary employers across industries like construction, metal fabrication, and wood products manufacturing. This diverse workforce supports a wide range of business needs, from manufacturing to professional services.

COMMUNITY-CENTRIC GROWTH AND REVITALIZATION

Despite rapid growth, Liberty Hill maintains its smalltown charm and strong community values. The city leadership and Economic Development Corporation are actively investing in downtown revitalization, creating a walkable destination with dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
