Good morning, neighbors! It's me again, Rose Mendez, your host of the Cedar Park-Leander Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and hot. High: 93 Low: 69.

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

1. Work is set to start on the Glenwood Apartments and could be complete by mid-2023. The site is located on Bagdad Road, across the street from Leander High School and adjacent to Bahama Buck’s and Dollar General. It will be an 84-unit apartment complex, three stories tall, and about 95,000 square feet. The complex will have one- and two-bedroom apartments, 126 parking spaces, a leasing office, an internet cafe, and a sitting area. (The Real Deal)
