City of Kyle Sends Contingent for Economic Development
The City of Kyle has seen unprecedented commercial development over the past few years. The additions of the HEB Plus, Target, Kohl's. Lowes and other retailers have played a big role in Kyle's sales tax growth, property tax valuation increases and improvements in the city's average household income.
These developments don't just happen. In fact, most take years to become a reality with connections being made on multiple levels in order to bring Kyle to the attention of the decision makers in some of the nation's largest retailers.
A lot of this work is taking place this week as the International Council of Shopping Centers has its annual conference in Las Vegas. The City of Kyle is represented there in force as Mayor Lucy Johnson, Council Members Diane Hervol and Brad Picket, and Economic Development Director Diana Blank are determined to present the city as one of the best places to site a new business.
With over 30,000 attendees representing every major retailer and developer in the world at this conference, this is where first impressions can make future deals possible. This is also the only opportunity to find them in one place at the same time.
Blank and members of the Chamber of Commerce have represented the City of Kyle in the past and the success of that has been obvious with the growth of the commercial sector of the past four years.
