| The goal of the City of Kirbyville's governing body and employees is to provide well maintained services to the citizens and to encourage other individuals and businesses to consider Kirbyville as a good place to locate. Kirbyville is constantly upgrading its water, sewer, electrical, and sanitation services, and street improvements are in the City's plans for the immediate future. Kirbyville still maintains its small town appeal, but is within travel distance of the major cities, airports, and recreational areas.
