Mayor Nelon and the Georgetown City Council:
As volunteers at the Georgetown Visitor Information Center, we urge the city to retain
the center at its present location at the corner of 7th and Main Streets. Having the Visitor
Information Center on the Square is the most visible and convenient location for visitors
as well as the people of Georgetown.
Adding public restrooms for the use of our visitors should also be a priority.
We serve visitors from all over Texas, the US, and foreign countries, as well as our own
Georgetown citizens, and we feel that the Visitor Information Center is a very real asset
to our community and to all of Texas. We invite the City Council members and all of the
city staff to visit us. Our hours are Monday thru Saturday 9 am till 5 pm and Sunday I
pm till 5 pm.
Thank you for your consideration,
Volunteer Staff at the Visitor Information Center
