Comming soon to a Kyle near you: Seton Hospital

The most important city council vote in Kyle’s history? . . . Possibly

With a 7 – 0 vote in favor, Seton receives the green light and Kyle is firmly established as a primer community in Hays County and central Texas.


But a project of this size is not the result of any one individual. Indeed, many hands make a light load.

Naturally, we thank the Seton / SCC partnership for recognizing the true potential of our city. The Hays county commissioners played a vital role in our partnership. Several Kyle staff members including Tom Mattis, City Manger; Charles Cunningham, Director of Finance, and Diana Blank, Director of Economic Development worked tirelessly on this project. Our active Kyle Chamber came out in full force to show the support of the local business community. And of course the city that sat in the “hot seat” and gave the green light to this project.

But I firmly believe that it is our Kyle citizens that were the key to the success of this project. Our citizen’s support for the various infrastructure improvements made over the last several years was critical in attracting Seton to Kyle. While a small minority cried out that the city was not doing enough, the overwhelming majority understood the long range vision for our city. They knew that we would have to be a little patient and first do the “unglamorous” work first such as roads, sewer and water; before we can bring in quality projects like RSI, HEB plus, and Seton.

Thank you,

Mayor Mike Gonzalez
