Kingsbury may officially become a city; Incorporation election set for May 9th

 

(Kingsbury) -- Guadalupe County may one day welcome the City of Kingsbury. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher Friday morning ordered the call for a May 9, 2015 election to decide the Kingsbury Incorporation Committee's (KIC's) request for an “incorporation” election for the proposed City of Kingsbury.

 

Judge Kutscher says the Kingsbury Incorporation Committee delivered its application package to his office last Monday morning.

 
KIC Committee Chair Shirley Nolen says the group is excited about giving the citizens on the east end of the county the opportunity to have their voices heard.
 
Nolen says the May election will, no doubt, be a historic event for the Kingsbury community which has a 130 plus year history. She says the focus now of the committee is to get the word out to all eligible voters.
  
According to the committee, 296 people currently reside in the proposed city limits. Of those individuals, 170 are registered voters. To be successful, they'll need 50 percent plus one voters to come out in favor of the new city. That's approximately 86 people.
