City of Kyle

Recognized as

#1 Hotspot
in Austin/San Antonio Corridor

Well fellow Kyle-stonians, our secret that Kyle is a great place to be is out. Who told??

The Austin and San Antonio Business Journals have recognized the City of Kyle as the 2007-08 No. 1 “Hot Spot” in the Austin/San Antonio Corridor for commercial investment and development. The announcement was made at the Austin/San Antonio Growth Summit in San Marcos on Friday September 21st.

Joseph R. Krier, President of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce said, “In June, HEB opened one of its largest stores ever in Kyle, a testament to the area’s potential, But the big business news for Kyle of late revolves around a new hospital Seton will build there and a 1-million square-foot retail center — tantamount to a regional mall — that is to go next door.”

“Kyle, like many of our other hot spots, proved recently that it can play ball in the big leagues,” said Krier. “Thanks in part to incentives offered by the city, a promising computer manufacturer in Austin called RSI is in the process of packing its things to move into a $3.5 million plant its building in Kyle.”

Kyle is currently the 5th fasting growing city in Texas according the United States Census Bureau. The City’s population in 2000 was just over 5,000. The Kyle City Council set the population at just over 25,000 in May 2007. Some estimates have the City rapidly closing in on the 30,000 population mark.

So how did we accomplish this as a community?

We did this by focusing on the often "un-glamorous" work of building up our roads, water and sewer systems. We also continued to strengthen the city's financial position of the to successfully fund and sustain our growth.

So what does this mean for Kyle?

Talk about an economic development weapon. This distinction firmly, and loudly proclaims that Kyle is the place to be on the IH-35 corridor. Simply put - It will help us recruit more quality developments and employers by validating Kyle as a strong market.
