Construction seems to keep popping up in Williamson County.
A Georgetown electronics manufacturing company called AirBorn broke ground on its new building Wednesday.
That company is set to add at least 150 new jobs to its workforce.
Meanwhile, Austin Community College's Round Rock campus is closer to completion.
"Being in economic development, this is what you work for. These kinds of successes," Georgetown's Economic Development Director, Mark Thomas said.
Airborn is a Georgetown firm that manufactures electronic parts for airplanes and medical devices. It's moving into a new 58,000 square foot facility in Southeast Georgetown.
"The facility we're currently in is--quite frankly--full," AirBorn Senior Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technical Officer, Michael Cuff said.
The global corporation has about 350 employees in Georgetown and will add at least 150 more in the next few years.
The company considered relocating for future expansion, but Georgetown won out on their selection.

"It is location, location, location, and it is workforce. We have available workforce," Thomas said.
Just beyond the hard hats for AirBorn's construction workers, there's a medical professional building going up right next door.
"Really, side by side on two sites, we have 160,000 square feet of office space and industrial space under construction," Thomas said.
Job growth and construction in the county doesn't stop in Georgetown. In Round Rock, Austin Community College and city officials are celebrating the progress of the Round Rock campus.
"Round Rock and Williamson County are still among the fastest growing communities in the United States. By evaluating the growth in this area, it was inevitable there was a need for a comprehensive community college campus," Steve Kinslow, ACC President and CEO, said.
AirBorn's new facility should be complete early 2010 and ACC's Round Rock campus will open to students in the fall of 2010.
