WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — One fast-growing Williamson County city may get its own Target in the coming years.
The project will be located at 351 North U.S. Highway 183 in Liberty Hill, according to a June 21 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. This is near the corner of State Highway 29 and Highway 183.
The filing with TDLR is preliminary, meaning project details may change. A Target spokesperson could not confirm details about the filing.
Preliminary details say the project will start construction in 2025 with completion in mid-2026.
KXAN reached out to the Liberty Hill Economic Development Corporation for confirmation and additional information. This story will be updated if a response is received.
The estimated $9 million project would include a Target store and other medium-scale retail. The project cost also includes parking, driveways and detention/water quality ponds, according to the preliminary filing.
The nearest Target stores in Williamson County are about 11 miles away each in Cedar Park and Georgetown. According to Target, the company has a store within 10 miles of most doorsteps in the U.S.
This Williamson County city is among the fastest-growing cities in Texas with a 185% population increase between April 2020 and July 2023, per U.S. Census data. In this roughly three-year period, the city grew from about 3,600 people to more than 10,000.
Between 2010 and 2020, the population grew 277%—from just under 1,000 people to over 3,600 Liberty Hill residents.
