What’s Current
There’s so much happening within the City of Taylor that finding one topic to touch on is difficult. The Good to Great Program is ongoing with significant improvements being made, and planned, for every city neighborhood.
Economic development is at an all-time high with an ongoing increase in manufacturing employment, restaurant and retail industries, and proactive commercial property marketing.
iCare Taylor has allowed the city to remain aware of needed infrastructure improvements anytime, anywhere within city limits. Departments are constantly working hard to keep the city looking and running seamlessly.
Special attention has been taken to our city parks to ensure that they are kept safe, clean, and fun for children of all ages.
