ideal for mixed-use development,” says Mayor Dr. Harvey. Several sizable projects are currently underway, marking one of the most ambitious phases of development in the city’s history. More than 200 acres of retail development are in progress, introducing much-needed commercial diversity and bringing shopping and dining options closer to residents. An 83-acre mixed-use development, which will include the new City Hall and the city’s first-ever library, represents a major civic investment and a physical embodiment of Manor’s evolving identity. Simultaneously, a new industrial park is taking shape, supported by strategic utility infrastructure that ensures it can attract and retain key employers. Las Entradas, a high-profile development near US 290 and Highway 130, is expected to become a key commercial and residential node. Private-sector investment is also playing a prominent role. Wonik Materials, for instance, is building a $46 million industrial facility on Old Kimbro Road— signaling confidence in the city’s infrastructure and workforce potential. Meanwhile, over 1,200 apartment units are under construction across several developments, reflecting the city’s efforts to meet the rising demand for housing. Collectively, these developments position Manor to serve a fastgrowing population, currently around 34,000, which is expected to reach 80,000 within the next five to seven years.
