Heroes Memorial Park is the working title for a Kyle area project expected to be unveiled on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 – but it’s an apt one for what would be the area’s first veterans memorial.
Several years ago, U.S. military veteran and then Kyle City Council member David Wilson came up with an idea to build a memorial for veterans, but the idea was never enacted – until recently. Kyle City Council members recently revived the project and this time instead of budget limited to $10,000, the city is starting with $1.5 million. The concept has been enhanced to include veterans and first responders, but there are still many details to work through.
The city is also planning to build a new police station in proximity to the park, which will surround the retention pond on the corner of FM 1626 and Kohlers Crossing.
