If you drive the Grand Parkway anywhere near Katy, you've noticed the orange cones multiplying like rabbits. I have news for you: they are not visiting. They are moving in, and they signed a four-year lease.
TxDOT is adding a third lane in each direction between I-10 and 290, Fort Bend County is finally building out real frontage roads through Cinco Ranch, sound walls are going up (yes, Grand Lakes, yours is on the list), and there's even a completely toll-free route coming once the feeders connect. I read through every TxDOT plan and county announcement and broke down the 7 things Katy homeowners actually need to know, including what four years of construction means for your home's value. Spoiler: most of it is good news wearing a safety vest.
