Retail development growth benefiting Highland Village From the cover
The overview
Highland Village City Manager Paul Stevens and Community Development Coordinator Autumn Aman said the shopping center has been critical for the city’s economy. Stevens said the center accounted for $928,000 of yearly sales tax revenue in fiscal year 2022-23. “That’s roughly 17% of our total city sales tax,” Stevens said. Stevens said the city had $1.6 million in sales tax revenue in 2022 as the pandemic was waning and people got out more. The Shops can rebound again with new businesses, he said. “All of that helps recruit other businesses as well,” Stevens said. The Shops at Highland Village saw a rebound in its number of visitors in 2021 and 2022. Through Dec. 15, data showed it had seen 3.1 million visitors over the previous 12-month span. That outpaced the number of visitors at both the Highlands of Flower Mound and the Robertson’s Creek developments.
