KYLE — Hays County invites the public to attend an upcoming open house to share information and gather community feedback on the Eastside Campus project at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 25, at Gemstone Palace, 1101 Bunton Creek Road, Kyle.
Earlier this year, the Hays County Commissioners Court authorized the issuance of Certificates of Obligation (COs) not to exceed $100 million for county offices/administrative buildings and facilities, which includes the Eastside Campus.
“This project represents an opportunity to thoughtfully plan for the needs of our growing community. By participating in these open houses, residents can help shape a campus that reflects our shared priorities and supports families across eastern Hays County for years to come,” said Hays County Precinct 1 commissioner Debbie Ingalsbe. “Investing in Hays County’s core infrastructure is essential to keeping our county working efficiently and responsibly as our population continues to grow. This project is about ensuring that our residents can access services in spaces that are safe, modern and equipped to meet today’s demands.”
The open house will feature an interactive, come-and-go format with opportunities to engage with county staff about services to be offered at the Eastside Campus.
“Community participation is essential as we plan for the future of the eastside. This format is designed to give residents direct access to the experts shaping this project and to ensure that the voices of our community remain at the center of the process,” said Hays County Precinct 2 commissioner Dr. Michelle Cohen. “This project represents an important step in making sure Hays County keeps pace with the needs of the people who live here.”
“As our county grows, so does the demand for our facilities and it’s important that our spaces reflect the level of service our community expects,” Cohen continued. “Investing in the Eastside Campus allows us to support our staff, strengthen our operations and create welcoming, functional environments for residents.”
Residents are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and provide feedback that will guide the county as the project moves forward.
