The goal of the Spirit of East Austin project is to co-create a more equitable prosperity in East Austin.

In September 2015, City Manager Marc Ott and Mayor Adler initiated The Spirit of East Austin to work in partnership with each other and the community to bring equitable, sustainable and transformative development to East Austin.  Our offices, together with City Council, are committed to a focused and intentional engagement with community leaders. Sign up for emails from Mayor Adler to stay updated about our latest work.

LEARN MORE: The Spirit of East Austin launched on September 12, 2015, with a community summit. From that summit more than 2,000 comments from approximately 450 participants were compiled. To see more from this summit, follow the links below.
