Pflugerville City Council declares June 2025 as Pride Month and approves goat grazing initiative

Pflugerville City Council made headlines at their recent meeting by officially declaring June 2025 as Pride Month, emphasizing the city's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equality. This proclamation highlights Pflugerville's dedication to fostering a welcoming environment for all community members.

In a celebration of public safety, the council also marked the tenth anniversary of the Central Texas Regional SWAT Team, honoring a decade of service and teamwork that has strengthened community safety across the region.

In an eco-friendly initiative, the council approved a project to manage vegetation using goat grazing, partnering with Goat Scaping LLC. This innovative approach will target approximately 130 acres, including Wilbarger Creek Park and parts of the Heritage Loop Trail, to control overgrowth and support fire mitigation. This initiative aligns with the city's strategic goals for sustainable infrastructure and promotes soil health without the use of chemicals.

Looking ahead, Pflugerville is gearing up to celebrate Juneteenth with a community event, Rock the Block, on June 20 from 8 to 10 PM in downtown Pflugerville. The event will feature a performance by the Peterson Brothers Band, promising an evening filled with music and unity.

Additionally, the city is inviting residents to participate in shaping the fiscal year 2026 budget. Community input is encouraged at upcoming budget workshops on June 24 and July 8, ensuring that the final budget reflects the priorities and ideas of Pflugerville residents.

With these initiatives, Pflugerville continues to demonstrate its commitment to community engagement, sustainability, and celebration of diversity.
