Limited housing options impacting Kyle’s economy

An influx of single-family homes in Kyle could stunt economic opportunity for the city. At least that’s what some leaders believe.

As the city continues to grow, city leaders are taking a closer look at diversifying the city’s housing market in order to make Kyle a more attractive place for developers.

On May 28, Kyle Planning and Zoning Commissioners discussed Kyle’s future when they narrowed their goals on an updated 10-year comprehensive plan. During the last version of the plan, which was crafted in 2009, Kyle’s population hovered around 28,000 people. Kyle’s estimated population in 2018 was 46,874, according to the Census Bureau.
