Article: $37M Kyle Public Safety Center complete
The city of Kyle held a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 20 to celebrate the completion of its Public Safety Center, located at 1700 Kohlers Crossing.
The cost
Kyle voters passed Proposition A in the November 2020 bond election, which financed the design, construction and equipment for the Public Safety Center. The bond costs property owners $0.0744 per $100 valuation during the 20-year lifecycle of the general obligation bonds. Since October 2021, an owner of a $216,000 home within city limits saw their property taxes increase approximately $13.50
per month, or $160.50 per year.
The details
The city broke ground on the project in September 2021 to accommodate growth.
The 64,000 -square-foot, two-story facility gives the Kyle Police Department the ability to expand its services and house the department in a single location, allowing the department to designate space to:
-
- Improve emergency response times
- Accommodate victims or residents experiencing trauma as a result of crime
- Create an investigations suite and canine unit
- Manage evidence processing and storage
- Increase officer training and pursue accreditation
- Expand community-based programs and mental health services
