Kerrville-TX

10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 6 Kerrville is working to increase its attainable housing inventory, welcoming Lennar Homes, who have recently broken ground on the first residential subdivision in the city, which is attracting other developers to the area. Mayor Eychner asserts that this will be a priority moving forward, admitting, “This is probably our biggest issue right now. It seems like we can bring in the businesses, but we don’t have any place for them to stay.” As for what else the future holds, she says business attraction is key, especially finding those that align with Kerrville’s vision. “We’re not here to accept every business that might want to look at us as a possibility. We have a lot of retirees in our town, and they retire here because they love the area, they love the Hill Country, they love the tourism, they love the outdoors, they love the beauty. They don’t want things to change, but if we don’t continue to grow, it’s not good for our city. So, maintaining the status quo is important, but we are constantly looking at what we can do to improve what we’ve got.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Ken Stoepel Ford www.stoepelford.com Welcome to Ken Stoepel Ford, a family-owned automotive haven nestled in the breathtaking Texas Hill Country.
