East Texas is growing

Tyler is a leader in medical sciences, higher education, the arts, and more. Like you, we long for our city to keep growing, continually becoming the best we can be.

However, we hold ourselves back when we aren’t cultivating spaces that reflect our high standards of progress, innovation, and creativity.
