Best In Texas Real Estate™: Bastrop County

What does a $50,000 national education prize for a UT Austin energy professor have to do with Bastrop County’s real estate future? Everything. The McGraw Prize honors lifelong learning systems—like those developed by Michael Webber, which have reached over 45,000 learners via PBS and Minecraft. This isn’t just about teaching; it’s about building scalable knowledge infrastructure. Bastrop’s growth in aerospace, tunneling, and advanced manufacturing isn’t just about land and tax rates—it’s about being a hub where adaptive, systems-based learning is embedded in the workforce. How many of your competitors are investing in learning platforms that reach beyond the classroom?
