"ACC officials are evaluating tracts — and, in some cases, negotiating acquisition terms — in or near Leander,
San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Elgin and Bastrop.
The Leander school district is already part of the ACC taxing district, but voters in the Bastrop, Elgin, McDade,
San Marcos and Hays school districts are expected to decide in November whether to be annexed.
However, Kinslow confirmed that ACC is negotiating to accept a donation of 38 acres in
San Marcos and to purchase an adjacent tract of unspecified size."

Well, the existing colleges will probably only grow to a certain point, and obviously new colleges don't spring up very often. So, obviously as Austin continues to grow, higher education becomes less of a substantial part of the economy. Students and faculty of these institutions will become a smaller and smaller percentage of the total population. So, like most major cities, Austin will need to attract a higher percentage of it's college graduates from other places.
