What is so great about Kerrville and Kerr County?

Kerr County is a great place to live and work.  This is even more indicated by today's jobless report.  We have 1,490 jobless workers.  That is not a good thing for them but the percentages for Kerr County versus the rest of Texas or the nation is quite impressive.

                                                                                                                                                  The county rate in August was 6.2 percent                                                                         

 compared with 8.4 percent for Texas                               

and 9.5 percent for the nation. 

 Kerrville is a small town with conservative values and Kerr County is a beautiful place located in the Hill Country of Texas.  It is only an hour's drive from San Antonio and all the entertainment and shopping one could possibly need.  The University of Texas at San Antonio is located on the west side making an easy commute for students if they decide not to go to Schreiner University located right here in Kerrville.

Sid Peterson Memorial Hospital and all the medical specialties' centers located here make our area a great place to live.  Kerrville has 4 public elementary schools, BT Wilson 6th grade school, Peterson Middle School and Tivy High School.  Notre Dame Catholic School is also here.  Dietert Senior Center and the new     Salvation Army KROC Center are other good facilities the locals enjoy.

Kerrville is blessed with wonderful art galleries and museums, and the Cailloux Theater and Hill Country Arts Foundation and The Point Theatre for those that enjoy various forms of art.  Music, art, education, hunting, tubing, kayaking, fishing, all kinds of outdoor activities.  The Coming King Sculpture Garden is in the process of being built on I-10.
