In the last few months I have canvassed the Katy community, speaking with dozens of business owners and taxpayers about the local issues affecting them daily. For every question I posed about the state of the future road expansions or how growth was changing the community, I received differing answers, each with a new source but equal uncertainty. These conversations have only emphasized the need for a hyperlocal publication like Community Impact Newspaper that disseminates information in a clear, concise manner.

With Community Impact Newspaper, every local resident and business owner is reached throughout the Katy area. Delivering a free publication through the mail ensures that "everyone gets it." Our mission is clear: to build communities of informed citizens and thriving businesses through the collaboration of a passionate team.

Some of the features we are excited to present each month include stories on small businesses, community leaders, restaurants, residential real estate data and news and notes from around the area. Our emphasis is, and will be, local. Our reporters and staff attend city council and county commissioner meetings, school board meetings and chamber meetings on your behalf—but most importantly they listen to you, our readers and the business community, to report about issues that impact you.

If you have any questions or ideas to help us improve our coverage, please call 281-469-6181 or send an e-mail to [email protected].
