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.
