A Taylor Independent School District bond election could be in the city’s future. Superintendent Devin
Superintendent Devin Padavil said this week that the district will bring together a citizen advisory committee to develop a potential bond proposal based on community needs.
“The school district needs to aggressively develop our facilities to meet the needs of certain growth,” said Padavil.
His words comes on the heels of a joint meeting between the board of trustees and the Taylor City Council Monday, May 9. Tom Yantis, city development services director, provided an update on new development in Taylor.
“This meeting was prompted by our school board’s intent to continue a strong relationship with the city,” said Padavil. “We know that when the school district is successful and supported, the city will continue to thrive and develop for the community.”
Several neighborhoods and projects are in construction, planned or in the proposal stages. One example is the Samsung Austin Semiconductor plant being constructed in southwest Taylor. Board and council members engaged with each other on how the school’s planning can align to the city, as well as future facility needs.
Projects as listed are:
• In construction — The Grove, Castlewood, Boxwoods and Samsung;
• Planned — Old Georgetown Road, Spring Creek, Castlewood South, Trenton Village, Parkside Townhomes, Mule Loop Townhomes, Talbot Commons and Northside; and
• Proposed — Vorwerk Tract, Gateway, Megatel Taylor, “3811 N. Main,” Cielo Ranch, Bull Branch Townhomes and Taylor Heights.
