True, though there are a lot of major employers located in Williamson County, so it's not like they'd all be commuting to downtown Austin.
It's 25 miles from Salado (Bell County) to Georgetown (Williamson County) via I-35.
And there are developments such as this which will only accelerate in the coming decades. I know projects like this aren't going to be popular here, but it is the type of stuff happening that makes me think at some point an Austin-Killeen CSA could occur.

Austin Business Journal shares, "About 18 months ago, representatives of Arizona-based DMB Development LLC unveiled initial plans for its long-anticipated Solana Ranch project near Jarrell. The effort called for billions of dollars of investment and construction of 14,000 homes and mixed-use buildings on more than 7,000 acres.
Split between Williamson and Bell counties, the planned development is among the most anticipated in the region. In early 2023, the Austin Business Journal first revealed plans for the project — located on the site of a 9,000-acre cattle and wildlife ranch owned by the Michaux family along the I-35 corridor between Georgetown and Temple.
