Downtown doldrum? Kyle contemplates ways to revitalize city center

A robust mixed-use district combining residential and retail components is something city officials envision for a future downtown Kyle.

But as stakeholders and officials discussed downtown Kyle’s future in a March 7 meeting, questions still linger on what it all could look like and how it can be done.

Kyle might ultimately apply to join the state’s Main Street Program, which helps to revitalize downtowns throughout the state. To join the program, the city would need to hire a Main Street manager and pay an annual $535 fee.
