Another avenue encourages citizen participation regarding’s the city’s comprehensive plan.
On Tuesday, April 19, Taylor’s municipal government and Simplecity Design are hosting the first in a new series of gatherings. A DNA Round-Up will be held at 6 p.m. at the Taylor Public Library, 801 Vance St. People are encouraged to help bring the Envision Taylor Comprehensive Plan to life through the Taylor Made Development Toolbox.
The city is celebrating Taylor’s original settlement patterns and why they matter to the future. Tuesday’s event is meant to serve as a community opportunity to help determine what is working and to voice its thoughts and concerns.
The Envision Taylor Comprehensive Plan is the newest version of the city’s primary policy document for the city in regards to development, transportation, utilities and other capital improvements. The document guides the municipality with a vision, goals, objectives and actions deemed necessary to direct the city’s long-range growth and development. Lionheart Places has been the city’s consultant firm on the plan.
After a series of workshops with the City Council, city staff and the public stretching back to 2020, the comprehensive plan was approved Nov. 18, 2021. The document was amended earlier this year to account for the Samsung Austin Semiconductor plant announced for Taylor after the comprehensive plan was approved.
