FROM KELLY: One of our front-page stories this month focuses on the redevelopment of downtown Katy. The city of Katy has invested in redeveloping the city’s downtown plaza for years, with the final plaza phase set to be completed in October. Community Impact asked city officials about future revitalization in the downtown area, its impact on business owners and how nearby development projects could also attract new visitors. Kelly Schafler, MANAGING EDITOR
