Come see what the city (and your dirt) has to offer
Friday, March 3, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Saturday, March 4, the city of Austin will hold a “Pop-up ATX” event aimed at making city services more accessible to residents. The services include free vaccines, health screenings, information on Austin Water rebates and a chance to connect with the Austin 311, Animal Services, Austin Transportation, Housing and Planning, Municipal Court, Office of Police Oversight, and Watershed Protection departments. The event will also feature the city’s “Soil Kitchen” that gives gardeners a chance to see what’s going on in their dirt – with results that include metal screening and nutrient analysis available four to six weeks after testing. The resource fair will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Givens Recreation Center (3811 E. 12th St.).
