nearby providing a rich variety of urban activities, and the surrounding Hill Country region provides many opportunities for outdoor activities. Voting strength The project is located within the incorporated city limits of the City of Georgetown and receives water, wastewater, and electric service from the city. Because of its size relative to the city, and the high growth rate within Sun City, the project has a significant impact on the local demographics. In elections, voter turnout in Sun City precincts typically exceeds 90 percent. As a result of redistricting of council districts in 2011, two of the six single-member city council districts are composed predominantly of Sun City residents, and a former mayor, George Garver (as of 2011), is a Sun City resident and was a former city council member. Target audiences Although the community attracts residents from all over the country, it has proved especially popular with retirees from the Upper Midwest because of the lower cost of living and relatively mild climate, but residents from Dallas and Houston who want to live in the Texas Hill Country are also target prospects. The project name at the beginning of the development was "Sun City Georgetown", but the name was later changed to Sun City Texas because of its focus on attracting residents throughout the state. In 2007, Georgetown was named by Retirement Places Rated (Seventh Edition) as the "Best Place in America to Retire". Golf courses Legacy Hills White Wing Cowan Creek Notable residents Murray Wier, a former college basketball All-American and National Basketball Association (NBA) player, was a resident of the retirement community. Another resident is former Dallas Cowboys Hall-of-Fame football player Bob Lilly, the first player initiated into the Cowboys' Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor (in 1975). Only nine players received the honor during the first three decades of the Cowboys' existence, making the Ring of Honor a coveted accolade.
