Katy’s Tollway Is On Its Way to Sealy
We are seeing many new home developments pop up between Katy and Sealy. This growth is leading to talk about expanding our highway systems to allow for the increase in traffic. The Texas Department of Transportation has begun preliminary planning for 2 additional lanes on each side of I-10, which would begin at Highway 6 and end in Sealy. Before these plans go any further, funding and public feedback will be needed. As soon as we receive additional information on this development we’ll pass it on.
Why do Home Buyers LOVE Katy, TX?
By being a Katy, Texas, Realtor, my team and I have the privilege of working with many buyers relocating to the Houston area from not only all throughout the United States but worldwide. Do you know what drives these buyers to Katy? The number one priority on a buyers mind is SCHOOLS. This isn’t just a top priority of families moving to Katy, Texas. Overall, the majority of buyers whether they have kids or not see the importance in living a community with award winning educational facilities and educators. Katy’s premier schools go hand in hand with a safe community and a booming economy, and as you know this helps to keep property values high.
On November 5th, Katy Voters will decide on the Katy ISD Bond. This is a $99 million dollar proposal which would fund an agriculture complex, STEM Center, and a new stadium. If this bond passes, the tax rate will not increase for Katy Tax Payers. In short, Katy’s growth and the new revenues that have come from this, make any tax increase unnecessary.
