Kyle develops marketing plan for tax rebate program, nixes expansion

Debate about the effectiveness of a Kyle tax rebate incentive program is pushing city officials to give it a marketing make-over.

Plans to make over the First Year on Us (FYOU) program was discussed at the June 4 Kyle City Council meeting. City leaders discussed the project after the city’s first participants in the three-year-old program, who all applied in 2019, received tax rebates for meeting criteria for funding.

However, Kyle City Council members voiced concern about the program and whether it is really attracting outside-of-Kyle entrepreneurs.
