The City of Taylor - Lodging, Restaurants, Retail, Subdivisions
The City of Taylor has worked to create an environment where businesses know that they are welcome here. We have streamlined our plan review, permitting and inspections processes and have a progressive City Council that understands and encourages the city's need to partner with developers.
We have also recently completed a retail study with The Retail Coach, LLC, establishing our retail trade area (with a population of over 61,000), retail gap analysis, psychographics and other information to assist you in choosing Taylor.
