Tyler Vision 2010 is an extension of a communitywide visioning process begun by the Tyler
Area Chamber of Commerce and the Tyler Economic Development Council in 1994 and
repeated in 1999. The goal for this planning initiative was to produce a list of priority
strategies or projects that business and community leaders in Tyler felt would be the most
feasible to accomplish during the next five years but will have the greatest positive impact on
Tyler’s business climate over the next ten to fifteen years.
The process has proven highly successful at identifying projects that have had a positive impact
on Tyler. The new airport terminal, Loop 49 construction, passage of the half-cent sales tax for
community infrastructure, the establishment of The University of Texas at Tyler as a four-year
campus with an engineering school, and the construction of the Skills Training Center on the
Tyler Junior College-West Campus are just a few examples of projects that were initiated or
enhanced by this visioning process. |
