🌱 CapMetro Trains Delayed Due To Heat + Local Company Expanding

Hi all. Rose Mendez here with your fresh copy of the Cedar Park-Leander Daily, full of all the things you need to know about what's happening locally. Here we go...

First, today's weather:

Abundant sunshine and hot. High: 98 Low: 73.

Here are the top three stories in Cedar Park-Leander today:

1. CapMetro warned riders that trains may be a little slower getting to rail stops between Downtown Austin and Leander for the next several days due to record-breaking temperatures. CapMetro said the delays are precautionary. Slower trains put less strain on the potentially hot tracks that can overheat and shift. (KVUE)
2. Cedar Park company ETS-Lindgren has received approval for incentives to expand into a warehouse on West Whitestone Boulevard. The Cedar Park Economic Development (Type A) Corporation initially approved a $300,000 grant on May 16. (The Business Journals)
