Posted/updated on: January 9, 2013 at 11:21 am
TYLER — The Tyler City Council gears up to hear a presentation this morning on the status of the City’s comprehensive plan, Tyler 21. Tyler 21 was originally adopted by the City Council on November 14, 2007, after nearly 18 months of community involvement and input. Officials say the 20-year plan created a strategic framework for future actions for the City and is a community-based plan. According to a news release, it defines a vision for the future linked to overall goals and policies, and it contains strategies and action items for achieving the goals.
The plan calls for annual reports to City Council on the status of implementation as well as a comprehensive review every three to five years to revisit the vision, goals, and principles. “This month we will launch a comprehensive five-year review of the plan,” said City Planner Heather Nick. “We have already begun preliminary work and analysis and are eager to involve the community in updating the plan.”
“Tyler 21 was an unprecedented effort by the citizens, elected officials and City staff,” said Mayor Barbara Bass. “The plan’s success can be largely attributed to the extensive involvement of the community in its development. This plan is truly the vision of the people and we want to make sure it remains reflective of current opinions.” Go to http://www.cityoftyler.org/ for more information.
