Business park to bring commercial growth to Katy
The City of Katy is one step closer to bringing a large business and industrial park to the area, stimulating commercial growth on the western side of its boundaries.
Area expects continued growth
Even though the Houston area has seen a slowdown in recent commercial and residential growth, the greater Katy area is continuing to see growth,” said Dr. Pat Guseman, a demographer with Population and Survey Analysts.
Guseman presented the most recent study of growth and projections of the Katy Independent School District area during the Greater Katy Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday.
“Katy ISD is one of the fastest growing large districts,” Guseman said. “It remains in to the top 20 statewide and is fourth in Houston.”
Ordinance to Expand Historic Area
The City of Katy is taking a step forward in trying to preserve its past.
The council is proposing an ordinance that would create a historic district and extend the boundaries of the area known as Historic Katy.
“Right now, there’s a funny little square that is designated as Historic Katy,” councilwoman Carol Adams said. “But that little square does not include many of our oldest homes that could be redone for commercial or residential use.”
Homes in Historic Katy are exempted from certain codes and ordinances, but old homes outside that area do not have the same protection.
