Los programas de cuidado infantil que cumplan los requisitos ya pueden solicitar el Programa de subsidio para el cuidado infantil de la ciudad de Austin, que ayuda a reducir las barreras económicas para los proveedores de cuidado infantil de alta calidad que desean atender a más niños.

Mediante la exención de las tasas municipales asociadas a proyectos de nueva construcción o ampliación, el programa ayuda a los proveedores que cumplan los requisitos a aumentar su capacidad de acogida y a ampliar el acceso a un servicio de cuidado infantil asequible y de alta calidad para las familias de Austin.

Looking good, South 1st! ✨

Identity is one small part of the district development equation, but building a sense of place means creating somewhere people feel connected to, invested in, and proud to belong.

The next time you're south of Lady Bird Lake, be sure to look up and notice our newly installed South 1st Street District street markers. (Thanks, Austin Transportation and Public Works Department!)

As the city grows, the South 1st Street District remains committed to maintaining its distinctive character. Efforts to support local businesses, promote cultural events, and enhance the district’s walkability are all part of a broader initiative to preserve what makes South 1st Street a beloved part of Austin. 💚
