... we can’t stop growth in Granbury, so we might as well enjoy it. An estimated $775 million is being spent annually - out of town - by the half-million people in a 30-mile radius of Granbury.

GRANBURY, Texas -- During the day, people stroll through this town's historic limestone square beneath a 19th-century clock tower. At night they head to the drive-in movie theater. The blossoming of the Texas bluebonnets makes headlines in the local newspaper. The town mayor just won his fifth term, running unopposed.
"The city's like comfort food," says Bill Hooks, a city council member.
It's also growing strongly. Between 1990 and 2000, the population of Granbury and surrounding Hood County increased 40%, to 48,000. A sparkling lake, affordable housing and the promise of a quieter life have drawn many people to Granbury, out in cattle country some 70 miles southwest of Dallas.
