KYLE — Hays County will host an in-person open house April 23 to share updates and gather public input on planned improvements to FM 2001.
The project includes safety improvements and roadway realignment between IH-35 and SH 21 to improve safety and mobility in a rapidly-growing area of the county.
“Hays County is committed to a transparent planning process that keeps residents informed as road projects move forward. As our region continues to grow, it's important that the community understands how planned improvements to FM 2001 will support future transportation needs,” said Hays County commissioner Debbie Ingalsbe.
The county and Texas Department of Transportation have worked together to identify, design and construct improvements along several segments of FM 2001. A portion of the project was completed in 2022 and the county is now preparing to move forward with the remaining improvements.
The FM 2001 Improvements Project aims to support future transportation needs by enhancing safety and mobility within the growing region, while respecting local priorities and environmental constraints, stated a county news release.
“As our region grows, we are prioritizing infrastructure investments that keep pace with the needs of our residents. Improvements along FM 2001 are a key part of that effort, designed to improve mobility and make travel safer and more efficient,” said commissioner Michelle Cohen.
The FM 2001 Improvements Open House will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 23, at Studio Estates Event Center, 6880 Goforth Road in Kyle. The open-house format allows residents to stop by at any time to review project information, learn about next steps and speak directly with the project team.
Meeting materials and opportunities to submit comments will also be available online at www.hayscoroads.com from April 23 through May 6.
