Kyle residents may soon gain easier access to Hays County services, as the construction of a new administrative building is making progress.

Latest update

Hays County Commissioners Court approved an agreement with HDR Architecture for design services for the building, not to exceed $4.13 million, at a Dec. 2 meeting.

The Eastside Campus will hold satellite offices for several county services, including:
  • Hays County Health Department
  • Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2
  • Office of Emergency Services
  • Hays County Administrator's Office
  • Hays County Sheriff's Office
  • Veteran Services Office
“We’ve had conversations in the past that it’s important to bring those services to the east side of I-35, which we have none currently,” Precinct 1 Commissioner Debbie Gonzales Ingalsbe said.

While there will be satellite offices at the Eastside Campus, the majority of services will remain in San Marcos, according to Ingalsbe.

One more thing

In November, Hays County officials published an intent to issue certificates of obligation not to exceed $100 million. The Eastside Campus is one of the projects the county intends to fund with the COs.


If the sale of the COs is approved at the Jan. 20 meeting, then the county will receive funds in early February.
