Hey Tyler!

Big week around here — and we mean that.

The City of Tyler just unveiled its Tyler Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan, a 20-year roadmap for how this city grows, develops, and takes care of its people through 2045. If you've ever had thoughts about traffic, housing, or where Tyler is headed, this one's worth your attention.

Spring (and Spring Break) are also slowly creeping up, and there is genuinely a lot to do this week — from Cirque Italia at Broadway Square to live music to trivia nights, farmers markets, and a butterfly talk at the library.

Here's your full rundown. 👇

Tyler Maps Out the Next 20 Years
The City of Tyler presented the Tyler Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan to City Council on Feb. 25 — an 18-month, community-driven roadmap guiding growth through 2045. The plan prioritizes the Midtown area (current medical/ hospital area) as an economic and medical hub and addresses housing, transportation, and infrastructure. Read more

Big Jobs Could Be Coming to Tyler
The Tyler Economic Development Council revealed it's in talks with a Fortune 500 company eyeing an 800,000-square-foot facility and 800 new jobs in the area, with a decision expected by the end of Q1 2026. Multiple other large projects are also in the pipeline, including a possible 600,000-sq-ft facility through CBRE. Read more

Wildfire Near Tyler Prompts Evacuations

Judge Sets Deadline in Smith County Court Cost Controversy
A judge has given the Smith County District Clerk a firm deadline to produce corrected bills of costs — and warned of consequences if it doesn't happen. The situation stems from a report that incorrect fees may have been charged to defendants for more than six years. Read more

Spring Break is closer than you think.

And around here, that’s when the market shifts.

Every year in Tyler, the busy season quietly starts building in late February, and by Spring Break, buyers are actively touring homes.

If you’re even thinking about making a move in 2026, now is the time to check your numbers  not when your neighbor’s house hits the market.

Before you make a move, let’s talk.

I’ll personally review your home’s value and send you a real market analysis and get you a strategy to get moving! 

Because the right price changes everything.
