Equity 5-11-26

The City of Pflugerville Equity Advisory Board met on May 11, 2026, to discuss and approve the Historic Colored Addition Beautification Plan. The plan focuses on infrastructure improvements, public art installations, signage, and historical storytelling to honor the African-American heritage of the Historic Colored Addition neighborhood. The project is divided into three phases: engagement and foundations, design, and installation and stewardship, with construction expected to complete by mid-2027. The board approved the plan and will recommend it to the City Council for adoption, with funding to be allocated in future budget cycles. Additionally, the meeting included a presentation on the city's formal Title VI program required by the Texas Department of Transportation to maintain federal financial assistance. The program outlines nondiscrimination policies, public participation plans, and compliance measures related to transportation and other city projects. Feedback from the board was solicited before the program's planned adoption by City Council on May 26, 2026.
