Signs of growth in downtown Taylor as city looks to the future
SUMMARY: The newly opened Talbot Commons Pocket Hotel in downtown Taylor, Texas, marks the first hotel in the area in 100 years. The contactless, 11-bedroom hotel occupies a historic First Presbyterian Church building. This development highlights the town's growth, driven by Samsung's new semiconductor plant, which brings jobs and tax revenues for revitalizing the downtown area. Taylor's Economic Development Corporation is leveraging these funds to attract new businesses and renovate heritage sites. Mayor Dwayne Ariola emphasizes the importance of balancing growth while preserving the town's heritage and supporting long-time residents, aiming to make Taylor a viable overnight destination.
