Who We Are

The West Austin Neighborhood Group (WANG) is a non-profit organization of residents with the shared goal of preserving West Austin and protecting it from deterioration. WANG is concerned with community development, ecology, safety, and any other matters that indirectly and directly affect the quality and character of the neighborhood and the City of Austin.

Next Neighborhood Planning Meeting:

We have concluded the zoning portion of Neighborhood Planning and await the scheduling of the Open House for the purposes of reviewing the plan prior to submission to the City’s Planning Commission.  City staff have not yet set the time or place for the Open House.

Howson Library Update:

The Howson Library has been undergoing major renovations throughout most of 2009.  Prior to completing the project, there were some unforseen complications that have now pushed the reopening to no later than April of 2010.  The City is well aware of our community’s desire to see Howson reopened as soon as possible.  Please monitor our site for any updates.  Further information on the project can be found in a post on this website.
