Seleese S. Thompson2009 Chairman of the Board

“I grew up in Temple!” is one of the state-ments I enjoy making the most when I meet new people. I grew up on Scott Boulevard and attended Scott and Thornton Elementary School followed by Travis Middle School and Temple High School. I am proud to own a busi-ness and raise my children in our community.

Temple is a dynamic city with a strong sense of tradition and diversity. From its deep-rooted residents to visitors passing through, the people in Temple give it a heartbeat that is unique to Central Texas. Temple has a solid foundation because of the dedication and sup-port of our hardworking community. Temple continues to grow and prosper each day.

Since its beginning with the railroad in 1881, Temple has seen the development of warehouses, manufacturing, distribution cen-ters, retail, research and development, govern-ment, agriculture, social services, education, and, of course, health care. We are privileged to have a Bioscience and Research District that brings innovative solutions to medicine.

Temple residents are determined people who are committed to its schools and colleges,

to the revitalization of our downtown busi-ness district, and to the enhancement of our neighborhoods as well as our parks.

Every city, business, organization, family, and individual faces change and challenge. We know that we are strengthened by change and strengthened by challenge. A piece of coal becomes a diamond as it reacts to pres-sure, stress, and the elements. As you plan for 2009 and the beginning of 2010 balanc-ing the pressure, stress, and the elements, I hope you will factor the opportunities and resources the Chamber can offer you and your business in Temple. Support local business by shopping, eating, and enjoying entertainment locally. I urge you to take an active role in one or more of the committees and programs as we embrace the future.

Seleese S. Thompson2009 Chairman of the Boardand Owner of Precious Memories Florist and Gift Shop

Organized in 1907, the chamber operated under the name of “Temple Commercial Club” until 1912 when the charter was amended and it was renamed the “Temple Chamber

of Commerce.” Throughout its 100+ years of existence, the Temple Chamber of Commerce has influenced the economic growth and com-munity development of the area and its current programs and initia-tives continue to support its enduring mission: to facilitate, support, and promote the growth of Temple business and the improvement of the quality of life.

Committees within the Chamber focus on five sectors of the community: business growth and development, community develop-ment, government affairs, member services, and workforce develop-ment. Chamber initiatives, programs, events, and committees exist to encourage the growth of its member businesses and to improve the community as a whole. The Chamber targets business growth and development as a major initiative through regular educational seminars and numerous networking opportunities. This would include events such as Business Networking Breakfast and Business After

Hours. These events offer Chamber members a different networking opportunity every week, at different times of the day to accommodate all schedules. Along with business growth, the Chamber accommo-dates the city’s needs for a thriving workforce through its Workforce Development Committee. The successful workforce of a community begins with its students. So that its members may have well-prepared and highly equipped employees, the Chamber is involved with local

high school students in a job shadowing program and the John Ben Shepperd Student Leadership Forum.

Legislative Affairs is an area of increasing interest and impact for cit-ies all over the state. The Legislative Affairs Committee is composed of various business and community leaders who understand and focus on city, county, state, and federal legislation that affect the Temple commu-nity. This key group of individuals tackles such issues as transportation, signage, education, and building ordinances in 2009. Guest speakers discuss legislative issues at Legislative Luncheons held throughout the year. These luncheons keep Chamber members informed and up-to-date on legislation at all levels of government. Although a political organization, the Chamber’s goal is to be the instrument by which Chamber leadership makes informed decisions about topics affecting the community.

What benefits the community and Chamber members? Community Development is a major area of focus for the Chamber. It is involved in multiple programs and initiatives that strengthen the community as a whole. Keep Temple Beautiful and the Temple Business Incubator are two programs in which the Chamber maintains a strong influ-ence. Leadership Temple, organized and operated by Chamber volun-teers and staff, is composed of current and potential leaders from all aspects of the Temple community and is intended to prepare them to

participate in community-oriented decision-making activities and positions. The Chamber is also dedicated to the development and suc-cess of the annual Bloomin’ Temple Festival, held in April. This festival boosts the economy of the area and generates an interest in the city. In addition to these programs, there are Chamber committees that feed community development as well, including the Temple Downtown Development Alliance and Women in Leadership. These active development programs and committees produce leaders, improve the downtown area, and beautify the City of Temple. The programs heighten awareness, involvement, and an increasing interest in and concern for this growing city.

The Chamber is lead by a Board of Directors, operated by staff, and driven by 1,100 member businesses. The mission has been a success-ful one in the past 100+ years, and with the constant support of its members and volunteers, the Chamber will continue to make a posi-tive impact on the growth of Temple business and the improvement of the quality of life.

The Chamber is much more than committees, projects, and pro-grams. The office receives thousands of calls each year from visitors and locals looking for specific business, a place to stay and eat, a telephone number, directions, or simply to reminisce. If you are new to the area, be sure to stop by the Chamber office to pick up a newcomers packet filled with everything you’ll need to get you settled into the community. The Chamber also has city maps, telephone books, and much, much more. Information about the Chamber, upcoming events, visitor information, relocation information, commu-nity information, membership, employment, health services, economic development, and a searchable business directory are also available online at www.templetx.org.

Keeping Temple Beautiful

www.templetx.org 11


Keep Temple Beautiful (KTB) celebrates another glorious year of accomplishments and community support. KTB is a nonprofit organization that began by a group of Temple citizens taking

action. Through the years, the organization has risen to new heights through its efforts of beautification, litter prevention, education, graffiti abatement, waste reduction, individual responsibility, public-private partnerships, and volunteer action. These are just a few areas in which KTB has achieved success.

Keep Temple Beautiful, the recipient of the 2006 Governor’s Community Achievement Award, the 2008 Gold Star Award, and the 2006–2008 Sustained Excellence Award, recognizes responsible envi-ronmental stewardship as part of its mission in serving the citizens of this community. The awards are presented to communities that have the best grassroots environmental programs in the state of Texas.

KTB has improved the visual aspects of our communities through projects that enhance and make Temple more economically viable. They are sustainable community improvements that combat lit-ter, minimize waste, and tackle environmental issues. Keep Temple Beautiful works with Park & Leisure Services’ “A Tree for Me” program to provide trees for the public on Arbor Day, as well as with other

projects that involve the city’s tree farm. Did you know that trees are vital for filtering pollutants out of the air and reducing global warming? They act as a wind block and insulator during the winter and can block the heat from the sun during the summer.

A better community begins through education that addresses issues that help the city. Dedicated citizens have assisted with the many clean-ups around the city. Whether it’s one of our Waterway Clean-ups, schools, or neighborhoods, these projects provide connections to the

broader network of citywide initiatives, build a sense of neighborhood identity, and promote lifelong learning and community livability.

With the partnership of the City we are actively moving forward with innovative solutions that create a healthier city that is environ-mentally safer as we continue to make enhancements to our landscape. On Make a Difference Day, Keep Temple Beautiful partnered with over 100 businesses, individuals, and organizations in improving the look of the Canyon Creek median. What was once a bland canvas turned into a work of art. Over the past years, we have developed lasting relationships with the Central Texas Council of Governments, the Texas Department of Transportation, the Temple Independent School District, businesses, churches and other nonprofits, and many others.

We have provided educational tools such as the Jr. Master Gardener’s program, Put It Here, and Drive Clean Across Texas. Through individual group projects that can be incorporated in a school’s curriculum, these programs allow youth to develop critical thinking skills and the ability to identify community concerns and take action to address them.

KTB is discovering more ways to educate the public on other effi-cient and environmentally responsible actions. We often achieve this goal when we are called upon to speak to organizations and schools. We hope that, through our actions, we provide practices for businesses and individuals to follow to have a more favorable impact on our envi-ronment, thereby allowing new opportunities for economic growth.

These activities are only a few of the many developments that are transforming where we all live, work, grow, and play. We’re building connections that are inspiring others to step up, team up, and make a difference. With a board of 15 community leaders, led by Chairman Thomas Baird and Vice Chair Zoe Rascoe, KTB has striven to create a

paradigm of sustainable community achievement that has in turn cre-ated a vision of increasing awareness and participation.

Keep Temple Beautiful is committed to educating and involving others in productive solutions that care for Temple’s environment. Whether supported through an outright gift or a donation through your water bill, Keep Temple Beautiful programs and services are made possible through the generosity and commitment of organizations and individuals. Contact Keep Temple Beautiful to make a donation or to become a member, volunteer, or corporate supporter.

Arts & Entertainment

www.templetx.org 15


Temple may look small on the map, but we’re a big destination for arts and entertainment in Central Texas. Even long-time residents may be surprised to learn about its rich history.

The “most-seasoned” award goes to the Central Texas Orchestral Society (CTOS), which was founded 62 years ago. The society brings internationally touring classical artists to Central Texas. In addition to presenting world-class performances such as Van Cliburn medal-ists and New York chamber orchestras and soloists, CTOS provides a venue where patrons are able to closely interact with artists during pre- and post-concert events.

Our City’s Cultural Center: Azalee Marshall Cultural Activities Center (CAC)

The CTOS performances are held at one of Temple’s best-known arts facilities, the Azalee Marshall Cultural Activities Center, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008. This nonprofit multi-use arts facility is located at the far north end of the city, just off Interstate 35. It has grown into a multi-disciplinary center with five spacious galleries, a performance stage with a 487-seat auditorium, two ballrooms, meet-ing rooms, and a studio featuring art and ceramics classrooms.

The CAC makes arts involvement and enjoyment accessible to all area residents through professional touring shows, community produc-tions, technical support, gallery exhibits, arts and crafts, and pottery classes and workshops. Area residents can also utilize meeting rooms to stage parties and events and participate in summer arts camps and the touring Missoula Children’s Theatre.

Singing groups that meet weekly at the CAC include two barber-shop choruses with open membership — Chisholm Trail Chorus of Sweet Adelines International (now in its 26th year) and the Texas Country Gentlemen. Other regular clubs and classes include several bridge groups, a quilt guild, junior cotillion, hip-hop dance, yoga, bal-let, Broadway dance, and classical guitar.

The CAC also boasts five art galleries showcasing new exhibits about every six weeks. Galleries are open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Exhibits are free and open to the public.

The Spotlight’s On Us: Temple Civic Theatre

The Temple Civic Theatre was founded 43 years ago and moved into its cur-rent 11,000-square-foot building in 1977. It has a 228-seat thrust stage auditorium, two large dressing rooms, offices, classrooms, a kitchen, restrooms, a large scene shop, and a costume shop. The facility is located at 2413 S. 13th Street, just behind the city’s Summit Recreation Center.

The average number of season ticket hold-ers is 1,300, with over 300 volunteers work-ing regularly each season. New volunteers are accepted and trained throughout the year. Main-series shows are cast from open audi-tions, with a loosely held goal of 50 percent experienced actors and 50 percent new partic-ipants. As many as nine shows are performed each season and include theatre literature, fea-turing musicals, classics, and recently released titles as well as original plays, one-man shows, and concerts by local musicians.

Music and Arts Education Abounds: Temple College

Temple College is the setting for numerous art, drama, and community music endeavors, such as the Temple Symphony Orchestra. The 2008–2009 season marks the orches-tra’s 15th year in Temple. Concerts are held at the Mary Alice Marshall Performing Arts Center at Temple College from September through May under the direction of founding Musical Director/Conductor Thomas Fairlie. Approximately 65 professional musicians from the greater Temple and Central Texas area are in the orchestra. Throughout the season, the Temple Symphony Orchestra features local as well as national and international artists per-forming classical music, pops, and jazz.

Another event that has grown over the years is the Temple College Jazz Festival, first organized 19 years ago as an entertaining and educational weekend, usually held at the end of March. The festival offers outstand-ing jazz, bringing together top professional artists, clinicians, and hundreds of college, high school, and middle school musicians for clinics, competitions, and great performances. The Temple College Orchestra also calls the campus home and performs several concerts

annually with an ensemble of professional musicians, community members, college stu-dents, and high school students.

Local and guest artists show their works year-round at the Temple College Visual Arts Complex Gallery, located at 2101 S. Fifth Street in Temple. Free and open to the pub-lic, the gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

City-Sponsored Events Draw CrowdsBloomin’ Temple

The Bloomin’ Temple Festival, a commu-nitywide event, has really blossomed since its inception in April 2006. A joint project of the City of Temple and the Temple Chamber of Commerce, it spreads across several city blocks in downtown Temple. Food vendors, a barbecue cookoff, a car show, and two days and nights of entertainment draw thousands of visitors from across Central Texas during one weekend each April.

Czech FestOne of the newest cultural events to hit

the Temple entertainment scene is Czech Fest, which began two years ago to honor Central Texas Czech Heritage and to benefit the Czech Heritage Museum and Genealogical Center.

Through artifacts, photos, and text, the Czech Heritage Museum provides an intimate look into the family life of Texans of Czech descent in the last century. The museum, which has been located in the basement of the SPJST Headquarters building on North Main Street since 1971, will be moving to a landmark north Temple location at 515 N. Third Street in 2009.

Czech Fest, held in October, is a celebra-tion of the music, culture, and foods of Texans whose roots go back to the Slovak lands in Europe.

Reliving Railroad Roots: The Iron Horse District

If you’re looking for an easy day trip, then you ought to check out the “Iron Horse District” in downtown Temple, which centers on the city’s roots — the railroad.

The Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum was founded in 1973 to collect, preserve, and exhibit the history of the railroads and local history of Central Texas. The original collec-tion was housed in the 1907 Moody Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Depot. In 1999, resto-ration began on the Temple Santa Fe Depot, which had been vacated by the railroad and was destined for demolition. Dedication of the restored depot took place one year

later. The museum, open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, houses an archive of historic railroad items and records and sponsors family days and events at the depot throughout the year. Static train displays and the Model Train Museum also are on the grounds.

Also located in the Iron Horse District is the Temple Community Market, where local artisans display their wares on various Saturdays throughout the year.

Local Artists Share Their TalentsYou would probably have to work hard to

be bored in this city. The advent of dancing reality TV shows has given ballroom dancing new life — which is just what In The Mood Ballroom did to downtown Temple more than 10 years ago. The owners renovated a his-toric building at 13 S. Main Street that dates back to the 1880s and now teach a variety of group and individual dance classes, as well as hosting public dance nights. Name a dance type (foxtrot, rumba, country-western, tango, swing) and they offer it Friday through Tuesday nights.

Other local destinations for entertain-ment include Temple Premiere Cinema, at Temple Mall; area restaurants and bars that host local performers; and the Bell County Expo Center on Interstate 35 in Belton. Hometown artists also display their handi-crafts at Ryno Glass, RMK Gallery, Texas Masterpiece Fine Art Gallery, and Rockin R Retreat (scrapbooking).

Education

TEMPLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT is unwaveringly committed to helping students achieve their highest potential and become meaningful contributors to their community and society.

www.templetx.org 19


Central Texas is rich in many ways, and one of its richest resources is education. Beginning with preschool and advanc-ing all the way through elementary grades and high school

to college, graduate school, and even medical school, educational opportunities in Central Texas are unmatched.

“Children First,” “A Great Place To Be,” “Where Success Begins” — these school mottos portray the commitment of local educational institutions to the highest standard of excellence, resulting in a better quality of life for the entire community. Central Texans are fortunate to have a wide variety of educational choices, including award-winning public schools as well as quality private schools.

Educational partnerships have brought a new dimension to the opportunities available, maximizing the educational resources for students at all levels:

The Clinical Simulation Center,• a joint project of Temple College, Scott &White, and the A&M Medical School, commands national and international attention for its unique integrated approach to edu-cating health care workers, from beginning college students, through medical students, physicians, and other health care professionals. The Texas Bioscience Institute (TBI),• a nationally acclaimed model program, offers high school students dual-credit classes through a Middle College program designed to prepare a new generation of researchers and scientists. Located at Scott & White’s West Campus in Temple’s Bioscience District, TBI serves students from 15 Central Texas high schools as well as Temple College students and has affi li-ations with several research laboratories and universities.

Public SchoolsTemple Independent School District

Temple Independent School District is unwaveringly committed to helping students achieve their highest potential and become meaningful contributors to their community and society. Temple Public Schools began instruction on June 13, 1883, and celebrated 125 years of education during the 2008–2009 school year. TISD is a 5A school district with two early childhood centers (Pre-K), nine ele-mentary schools (K–5), three middle schools (6–8), and one high school (9–12), serving a total enrollment of approximately 8,500 students. TISD is the fifth-largest employer in Temple, with more than 1,300 employees.

Through the years, TISD has produced 187 National Merit Scholar Award win-ners, including Black Achievement and Hispanic Recognition Scholars. TISD was the first district in Central Texas to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and has awarded 69 IB diplomas to date. The district has exceeded state and national averages in SAT scores for 13 consecutive years and has received numerous other state and national recognitions, including Temple High School’s being recognized as a “Top 5% High School” by Newsweek. These accom-plishments are the direct result of a talented

and dedicated staff and strong community support and involvement.

The district emphasizes the importance of the arts and encourages a strong performing and visual arts program at all levels. The district’s athletic program provides a variety of individ-ual and team sport activities for students in grades 6–12. Currently, there are 19 different sports programs in the athletic department.

Belton Independent School District“Every Kid is a Winner” is the motto that

expresses the heart of Belton ISD’s mission — to provide an education that challenges all BISD students to succeed. BISD is a key reason that families and businesses choose to locate in Belton. Belton ISD has more than 8,500 students and more than 1,200 employees.

The district currently has eight elementary schools (three campuses with grades K–5


and five campuses with grades Pre-K–5); two middle schools, grades 6–8; and two high schools, grades 9–12. The new Roy and Jean Potts Belton Swim Center at Belton High School opened last year with offerings for both students and the surrounding community.

The district maintains consistently high standards for both students and staff. Belton ISD received an overall “Academically Acceptable” rating for its 2008 TAKS results. Campuses receiving “Recognized” rat-ings included Lakewood Elementary, Leon Heights Elementary, Joe M. Pirtle Elementary, Southwest Elementary, Sparta Elementary, Tarver Elementary, and Tyler Elementary, while campuses receiving “Academically Acceptable” ratings included Miller Heights Elementary, Belton Middle School, Lake Belton Middle School, Belton High School, and Waskow High School.

Belton ISD voters recently passed a Tax Ratification Election to meet the budget needs of a growing district, and the Long Range Facilities Planning Committee will be develop-ing a plan for future construction.

“The community recognizes that our pri-mary focus is our students and supports us by seeing that our facilities are special places for our students to learn,” Dr. Vivian Baker,

superintendent, said. “The opening of the new Roy and Jean Potts Belton Swim Center this year has added a new dimension to programs available for our students, staff, and the com-munity. Staff has also ‘gone the extra mile’ in developing and revising curriculum docu-ments to improve instruction at all levels. We are looking forward to continued success in our district.”

Health Care

KING’S DAUGHTERS HOSPITAL has grown to

150 beds, with patient satisfaction scores among the top

15 percent in the nation.

www.templetx.org 29

Medical research has always been important but was boosted to Temple’s forefront thanks in part to the creation of the state’s first Health and Bioscience District here in 2003. The district and its

health care and education partners have since worked diligently to provide bioscience training and attract world-class researchers to the city.

The city’s health care partners joined forces with Temple College and area school systems to open the Temple Bioscience Institute in 2006. Located at Scott & White’s West Campus, high school students earn col-lege credits, allowing them to simultaneously receive an Associate of Art or Applied Science in Biotechnology degree with their high school diploma.

Area research initiatives have seen an increase in outside funding as more investigators are attracted to Temple for its facilities, resources, and workforce. The National Institutes of Health’s funding for research initiatives has reached nearly $12 million at Scott & White. The Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System also boasts millions of outside dollars dedicated to research.

Some of the city’s key research includes:

Genomic Medicine:• Darwin Prockop, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Scott & White, is an internationally recognized investigator and pioneer in the areas of human-bone-marrow-derived stem cells, their biology, and clinical applications. Cancer Research Institute:• The research of Arthur Frankel, M.D., of Scott & White and the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, centers on toxin fusion protein therapy, using substances such as diphtheria, anthrax, and ricin to target malignant cells. Ongoing stud-ies search for treatments for melanoma, leukemia, brain tumors, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and other diseases.

The Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI):• A partnership of Texas A&M Health Science Center, Scott & White, and the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System, CVRI is home to scientists studying the normal functions of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatics, as well as abnormalities of the cardiovascular system in heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, infl ammation, and ischemia. The Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System:• Currently, the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System has nearly 70 active research projects, 20 active VA investigators and eight affi liated inves-tigators, a VA Research and Development budget of nearly $800,000, and total research expenditures of $2.28 million. An additional $2.5 million was recently added to an initial $3 million joint project with Fort Hood to research the causes and treatment of post-trau-matic stress disorder for the Neuropsychiatry Research Program. The stress disorders research is a collaboration between investigators at Baylor University in Waco, the Baylor Human Genome Sequencing Center, Rockefeller University, the National Center for PTSD, and Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood.Scott & White• and King’s Daughters Clinics: Both offer ongoing clinical trials in several areas, including urology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesia, and diabetes.

Expanding and EducatingHealth care has long been Temple’s leading industry, and recent

growth is pushing it far beyond the city limits. In a town where two railroad doctors carved out the beginnings of Temple’s health care his-tory, all types of medical practices now find their niche here. Whether it’s caring for the nation’s veterans, operating a physician-owned clinic, or running one of the nation’s largest group practice systems, Temple is a catalyst for high-quality care for patients throughout Central Texas.

Temple health care continues to expand with King’s Daughters Clinic’s new ambulatory surgery center and a new cancer treatment cen-ter at Scott & White. Beyond Temple, Scott & White is now operating the Llano Memorial Hospital serving the Texas Hill Country. The system has also partnered with hospitals in Killeen, Lampasas, and Waco to extend care well beyond its home base.

The Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System is also extending its reach outside of Temple, partnering with Baylor University in Waco and

THE TEMPLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (TEDC) recognizes and promotes the intertwined paths of arts, education, and economic development to maintain a viable, growing city.

Business & Technology

www.templetx.org 35


The Temple Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) recognizes and promotes the intertwined paths of arts, education, and economic development to maintain a viable,

growing city. Temple is a city with a diverse economic base whose foundation includes health care, bioscience, warehousing, distri-bution, manufacturing, and agriculture. Business and industry has grown over the years with strong leaders who know that one of the most critical components in the success of economic development is a healthy arts and education community.

A Competitive EdgeOne of the main reasons families and companies come to

Temple is to achieve a combination of economic success and high

quality of life. The elements that make our lives richer, fuller, and more enjoyable are our cultural opportunities. Those may be per-formances, visual arts environments, or education systems that are capable of developing the whole person. The arts and education are a way to unite communities, create economic opportunity, and improve quality of life.

As a concrete economic development asset, a strong arts and edu-cation program enhances an area’s ability to attract knowledgeable workers and build livable communities and gives the area a com-petitive edge. The arts in education promote teamwork and team building, advance visual skills, may help increase standardized test scores, and encourage problem solving — all necessary elements for a productive and self-sufficient workforce. A well-rounded person is

a better employee, which makes for a stable business environment. A strong workforce directly impacts the viability of business and industry in a community.

An Economic ForceThe arts in a community can be a dynamic

economic force all on their own. Increasingly, artists are not just selling their

work inside a community, but outside as well. They may show at galleries in other states, selling their wares and bringing that revenue back to their own community to spend. The same can be said for musicians and those in theater and dance.

Thriving cultural life generates income, jobs, and tax revenue, and it also creates vis-ibility for a community. It serves to establish an identity that can make a city a regionally and nationally recognizable destination. A good example of this is the way jazz music is tied to New Orleans. This identity then serves as a tool for attraction and retention of busi-ness and industry — something on which to “hang our hat.” In Temple, for example, there is the annual Jazz Festival, celebrating its 19th year in 2009. Each year it becomes more and more recognizable as crowds that attend spread the word.

An Educational AllyEducation has many nuances from pre-

kindergarten through advanced studies and degrees. But certainly a well-supported, strong


and viable educational system is paramount to maintaining and growing the body of people that make up the community.

The process is circle. The body of people in the community makes up the workforce and, as already mentioned, a well-rounded, well-educated person is a better employee. Better employees make a stronger workforce; a stronger workforce makes a more viable business or industry. A viable business or industry is more likely to be retained and to grow in a community, which in turn means job security for the body of people that make up the community.

When one considers economic develop-ment and the important role of education, it is typically thought about in terms of higher education. Temple is home to a concentra-tion of medical and bio institutions of higher education, including the Cardiovascular Research Institute, Scott & White Cancer Research Institute, the Regenerative Medicine Institute, the Texas A&M University Health Science Center College of Medicine, and the Texas Bioscience Institute. Institutes of higher learning like Temple’s own Temple College are instrumental in developing job training

programs and research opportunities for new business cluster markets. Other entities like the Temple Economic Development Corporation and the Temple Business Incubator provide support and promote entrepreneurship and skills development.

But another important educational nuance is that the arts are an essential part of an education system’s core curriculum, captur-ing the child that has a hard time keeping focused on lecture, memorization, and other traditional teaching methods. Basic informa-tion and the ability to think outside the box are essential to innovation in business and industry. The Temple Independent School

District emphasizes the importance of the arts and encourages a strong performing and visual arts program at all levels. TISD provides a com-prehensive arts education in the four arts disciplines: dance, music, theater, and visual arts.

A Talent DrawAt this juncture, it is important to note that in the past decade

communities have realized that their economic development and com-munity viability is tied to the location preference of mobile knowledge workers who form the intellectual backbone of the new economy. These workers value “quality of place” above nearly all other factors in choosing where to locate. Some studies show that one of the factors that determines the quality of place is a vibrant arts and substantial education system. Younger employees — the next generation that will eventually comprise the majority of our workforce — use this as one of the factors to determine where they will live and work.

“There are many businesses and industries in Temple that are sup-porters of the arts and education because they know the importance in working together to produce a quality workforce, which directly


supports solid economic development,” said Lee Peterson, president of the Temple Economic Development Corporation.

An Inspiration for Innovation“As a salute to the arts and education, it is

interesting to note that there are several com-panies that can be considered extremely inno-vative with the products they manufacture, and we are proud to have them as part of our economic community,” said Peterson.

Enviro Packaging Solutions• offers a single source for sustainable packaging design and innovation and is a top supplier for retail channels. The meat sold in grocery stores is displayed on one of their packages. Integrico• , another innovative company, takes advantage of recycled plastics and manufactures railroad ties.Leading Edge Brands• is a soft drink mar-keting and manufacturing company that has revitalized the old-time brands of Frostie and KIST. A new direction in marketing based on name recognition is the main thrust of their business.

Lee Peterson concluded, “Economic devel-opment works when all the forces that make it strong are in place. Temple has all those forces, with the arts and education as two of the really important ones. The future for Temple is bright.”

As the Incubator’s director, I notice that when people call or walk in, they are often a little hesitant at first, wondering if this is the right place to discuss their ideas. We’ll just start with an informal chat and then determine what the next step might be. This definitely is the right place to start. So, call or drop by for a tour and an assessment. An incubator is meant to be as the name implies, a safe environment for the birth and nurturing of new entrepreneurs and their businesses.

In 2008, a partnership was established with the regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC) office to offer services at the Temple Incubator. Their professional con-sultants can assist both new and established businesses in many facets of ownership and operation. Call the Incubator for additional information or to set up an appointment with an SBDC counselor.

The Business Incubator is truly a com-munity collaboration of the Temple College Foundation, the City of Temple, the Temple Chamber of Commerce, Temple College, and the Temple Economic Development Corporation. These sponsors have unity of purpose to assist businesses to grow and prosper.

Temple has experienced a tremendous amount of new con-struction over the past few years. This growth, coupled with a diverse and strong local economy centered around advanced

manufacturing, logistics/distribution, and the health science industry, is one reason why the Killeen-Temple Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) moved from 33rd to 13th in 2008 rankings for job creation in the nation.

2008 DevelopmentsNew Restaurants

During 2008 Temple witnessed several national restaurants and fast-food chains opening their doors for the first time in Temple,

while one returned after several years’ absence and a local barbeque restaurant got a new home.

B.J.’s Brew House• and Taco Cabana opened new locations in Bird Creek Crossing.Olive Garden• returned to Temple in its new location on the north-east corner of Loop 363 and IH-35 in Wildfl ower Court.One of Temple’s favorite barbeque restaurants, • Clem Mikeska’s, moved just a few feet west into their new home and more than doubled their capacity. Temple’s westside got its fi rst national franchise fast food when •Sonic established its location just off the corner of Kegley Road and FM 2305.

Commercial Real EstateTemple Moves Up and Builds Out

BY MATTHEW MONROE

www.templetx.org 45

The much-anticipated • Cracker Barrel, also located in Wildflower Court, was finally finished in winter just in time for Temple’s citizens to enjoy a hot breakfast on a cold winter 2008 morning.

Expansions and RelocationsScott & White Health Services• , Temple’s largest employer, was busy building as well. During 2008 Scott & White moved their pharmacy and administration offices to new facilities on Canyon Creek and added another pharmacy on the north side of town at West Adams and 11th Street. The Pediatric Clinic moved several of its doctors to an inline retail space in Temple Towne Center next to Hobby Lobby.Both • Kiella and Omega built not only their own offices out west on FM 2305, but also several build-to-suit retail strip centers and office buildings on FM 2305 and South 31st Street.


The Economic Crisis of 2008In September 2008 Temple’s citizens, along with the rest of the

nation, were first told about the global credit crisis. What first began as a liquidity crisis for national banks and lenders as a result of bad debt from sub-prime mortgages quickly turned into entire industries potentially going bankrupt and states operating billions of dollars in the red.

Temple, like the rest of the nation, has been affected by the eco-nomic crisis still unfolding on the world stage. It is still unclear exactly what effect this economic slowdown will have on Central Texas in general and Temple specifically.

After much debate, the National Treasury Secretary announced at the end of the fourth quarter in 2008 that the nation had officially been in a recession for the last four quarters. For this reason, the majority of national retailers and restaurants are incorporating a “wait and see” attitude for the year 2009; the majority of projects not currently under construction or in progress will more than likely be placed on hold. Yet there is a group of local and regional investors and entrepreneurs

who see opportunity in Temple’s market and are moving forward with plans to expand and grow their businesses.

Chapter 11’s Effect on TempleDespite being located in one of the nine states operating in the

black for 2008 and being ranked 13th-fastest-growing MSA in job cre-ation, Temple still witnessed the effects of the current economic crisis when several national retailers and restaurants with stores in Temple filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The first to close their doors, in late April, was The Village Inn, located in a free-standing, 4,600-square-foot building constructed in 2006 in the Center Pointe Plaza at 31st Street and Loop 363 adjacent to Scott & White Hospital. Next was Goody’s Clothing Store, located in a 30,000-square-foot, inline space at Temple Towne Center; followed by Steve and Barry’s, located in the Temple Mall. Last, Circuit City, located on 31st Street across from the mall, began liquidating in preparation to leave at the beginning of the holiday season.

These departures from the Temple Market, while disappointing, were made easier by the fact that all but one closed their doors as a result of their company’s filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. These vacant spaces were one of the city’s first visible signs of the news that had dominated broadcasts since September 2008.

Opportunity for Local and Regional InvestorsAlthough Temple is weathering the storm better than most cit-

ies throughout the nation, there will still be some impact felt here at home.

Still, Harry S. Dent, Jr., wrote in Franchise Business Journal: Finding Recession-Resistant Business, “It might be time to expand your business

portfolio.” Local and regional investors that know and understand the Temple market and have the capital will be best suited to take advantage of this unique opportunity to diversify and expand their portfolios.

Temple’s Downtown DevelopmentTemple’s downtown buildings are dia-

monds in the rough, waiting to be discovered by the right person with the vision and cre-ativity to make something new while preserv-ing the rich heritage and architecture of past days gone by. The overwhelming trend in Temple’s commercial real estate market for the past five years has been new construction and development; new retail centers, restaurants, automobile dealerships, hotels, retail strip centers, office buildings, and medical facilities are all being built to meet the demand of new, expanding, and relocating businesses. Yet there were a few who resisted the temptation to venture out south or west and instead saw the charm and appeal of Temple’s downtown historic buildings.

The initial development started slowly. In 1987 Greg Davis began the first restoration in years of a downtown building with 6 South 1st Street. He later acquired the Texas Theater next door and converted it to office space. The next year, the City of Temple completed the “Downtown Revitalization and Main Street

Plan”; but it took another nine years for Greg Davis to acquire and restore 1 South 1st Street, which now houses the Temple Economic Development Corporation.

The new millennium saw interest and development take off. John Kiella was one of the first developers to realize the potential of downtown buildings when he acquired and began restoration of the buildings fronting Avenue A and Second Street. These build-ings are now home to some of Temple’s finest restaurants, such as Cheeves Brothers and Pignetti’s, which both opened in 2002.

In 2000, Clay Roming acquired and restored the 1 South Main Building for the Kasberg engineering firm. Around the same time the Santa Fe Depot renovation was com-pleted with a $3 million grant to create a rail-road museum and a site for private parties.

O’Briens PubTwo of the most recent investors/business

owners to come on the scene downtown are Ryan and Cody Leshikar, both Temple natives who returned to their home town. They represent a new breed of downtown investors. In 2003, the Leshikar brothers first purchased 120 South 1st Street, a 6,000-square-foot, two-story office building. The

brothers remodeled the upstairs into a loft apartment and used the first floor office space for their financial services business.

Once living and working downtown, the Leshikars realized that Temple’s business pro-fessionals did not have an “upscale” pub to frequent. In 2007, the Leshikar brothers, with Lance Tomlin, Temple native and owner of Tem Tex Delivery, partnered to purchase and remodel the 7,400-square-foot Cotton Exchange, built in 1903, located near the cor-ner of Central Avenue and 2nd Street.

The end product was O’Briens Pub, which opened its doors on Halloween 2007. Since that time O’Briens has established itself as a top-quality pub with over 50 domestic and imported beers on tap and an atmosphere where any business professional would feel right at home either closing a deal over lunch or joining colleagues after work for drinks.

The partners have currently begun reno-vations to the third floor and rooftop of the pub, which will provide a private venue for groups and a beautiful nighttime setting. It is investors like these, who understand the market and have the passion to see Temple thrive while preserving a part of its past, who will continue to keep Temple growing during these uncertain times.

Downtown PotentialDowntown Temple has been the focus of revitalization efforts for

several years and is a budding area of residential real estate. With a public library, pubs, shops, restaurants, city offices, public transpor-tation, and other business found in this area, the City of Temple is encouraging residential growth here.

The Temple Downtown Development Alliance, an initiative of the Temple Chamber of Commerce, has been instrumental in this endeavor. Renovation projects are ongoing downtown, both for com-mercial and residential spaces. One such project is the renovation of the Professional Building, a 1920s structure at the corner of Central Avenue and 2nd Street, which will be converted into loft apartments and retail space.

Owning Your Own Home: Getting Started*How do I know if I’m ready to buy a home?

You can find out by asking yourself some questions:Do I have a steady source of income? •Have I been employed on a regular basis for the last 2–3 years? •Is my current income reliable?•Do I have a good record of paying my bills?•Do I have few outstanding long-term debts, like car payments?•Do I have money saved for a down payment?•Do I have the ability to pay a mortgage every month, plus additional •costs?If you can answer “yes” to these questions, you are probably ready

to buy your own home.

How do I begin the process of buying a home?Start by thinking about your situation. Are you ready to buy a

home? How much can you afford in a monthly mortgage payment? How much space do you need? What areas of Temple do you like? After you answer these questions, make a “To Do” list and start doing casual research. Talk to friends and family, drive through neighbor-hoods, and look in the “Homes” section of the newspaper.

Additionally, you may want to consider pre-applying for a loan. Doing so will allow you to know how much home you can afford before you begin searching; it can also give you negotiating power

once you’ve selected a home, as the buyer will know that you’re already approved for a loan. However, the rates and amounts of pre-approval loans are usually only good for a fixed period of time; if your home search exceeds this period, you will have to re-apply for the loan.

How does purchasing a home compare with renting?The two don’t really compare at all. The one advantage of renting

is being generally free of most maintenance responsibilities. But by renting, you lose the chance to build equity, take advantage of tax benefits and protect yourself against rent increases. Also, you may not be free to decorate without permission and may be at the mercy of the landlord for housing.

Owning a home has many benefits. When you make a mortgage payment, you’re building equity. And that’s an investment. Owning a home also qualifies you for tax breaks that assist you in dealing with your new financial responsibilities — like insurance, real estate taxes and upkeep — which can be substantial. But given the freedom, sta-bility and security of owning your own home, they are worth it.

How does the lender determine the maximum loan I can afford?The lender considers your debt-to-income ratio, which is a com-

parison of your gross (pre-tax) income to housing and non-housing expenses. Non-housing expenses include such long-term debts as car

www.templetx.org 55

or student loan payments, alimony, or child support. According to the FHA, monthly mortgage payments should be no more than 29 percent of gross income, while the mort-gage payment, combined with non-housing expenses, should total no more than 41 percent of income. The lender also considers cash available for down payment and closing costs, credit history, and so on when deter-mining your maximum loan amount.

How do I select the right real estate agent?The Temple Chamber of Commerce can

provide a list of area agents. Talk to each before choosing one. Look for an agent who listens well and who understands your needs and whose judgement you trust. The ideal agent knows the local area well and has resources and contacts to help you in your search. Overall, you want to choose an agent who makes you feel comfortable and can pro-vide all the knowledge and services you need.

How can I determine my housing needs before I begin the search?

Your home should fit the way you live, with spaces and features that appeal to the whole family. Before you begin looking at

homes, make a list of your priorities — things like location and size. Should the house be close to certain schools? to your job? to public transportation? How large should the house be? What kinds of ame-nities are you looking for? Establish a set of minimum requirements and a “wish list.” Minimum requirements are things that a house must have for you to consider it, while a “wish list” covers things that you’d like to have, but that aren’t essential.

Owning Your Own Home: Finding the Right House for You*What should I look for when deciding on a community?

Fortunately, Temple has many community and neighborhood choices. Select a community that will allow you to best live your daily life. Many people choose communities based on schools. Do you want access to shopping and public transportation? Is access to local facili-ties like libraries and museums important to you? Or do you prefer the peace and quiet of a rural community? When you find places that you like, talk to people who live there. They know the most about the area and will be your future neighbors.

How can I find out about community resources?Contact the Temple Chamber of Commerce for promotional litera-

ture, welcome kits, maps and other information. Your real estate agent and the local library are also good sources of information.

Is an older home a better value than a new one?There isn’t a definitive answer to this question. You should look at

each home for its individual characteristics. Generally, older homes may be in more established neighborhoods, offer more ambience and have lower property tax rates. People who buy older homes, however,

www.templetx.org 57

shouldn’t mind maintaining their home and making some repairs. Newer homes tend to use more modern architecture and systems, are usually easier to maintain, and may be more energy-efficient. People who buy new homes often don’t want to worry initially about upkeep and repairs.

What should I look for when walking through a home?

In addition to comparing the home to your minimum requirement and wish lists, consider the following:

Is there enough room for both the present •and the future?Are there enough bedrooms and bathrooms?•Is the house structurally sound?•Do the mechanical systems and appliances •work?Is the yard big enough?•Do you like the floor plan?•Will your furniture fit in the space? Is there •enough storage space? (Bring a tape mea-sure to better answer these questions.)Does anything need to be repaired or •replaced? Will the seller repair or replace the items?Imagine the house in good weather and •bad, and in each season. Will you be happy with it year-round?

Take your time and think carefully about each house you see. Ask your real estate agent to point out the pros and cons of each home from a professional standpoint.

What questions should I ask when looking at homes?

Many of your questions should focus on potential problems and maintenance issues. Does anything need to be replaced? What things require ongoing maintenance (e.g., paint, roof, HVAC, appliances, carpet)? Also ask about the house and neighborhood, focusing on quality of life issues. Ask ques-tions until you understand all of the informa-tion you’re given. Making a list of questions ahead of time will help you organize your thoughts and arrange all of the information you receive.

Owning Your Own Home: You’ve Found It!*What does a home inspector do?

An inspector checks the safety of your potential new home. Home inspectors focus especially on the structure, construction and mechanical systems of the house and will make you aware of any repairs that are needed. The inspector does not evaluate whether or not you’re getting good value for your money. Be sure to hire a home inspector who is qualified and experienced.

It’s a good idea to have an inspection before you sign a written offer since, once the deal is closed, you’ve bought the house “as is.” Or, you may want to include an inspec-tion clause in the offer when negotiating for a home. An inspection clause gives you an “out” on buying the house if serious problems

www.templetx.org 59

are found or the ability to renegotiate the price if repairs are needed. An inspection clause can also specify that the seller must fix the problem(s) before you purchase the house.

It’s not required that you be there for the home inspection, but it’s a good idea. Following the inspection, the home inspector can answer questions about the report and any problems. This is also an opportu-nity to hear an objective opinion on the home you’d like to purchase and is a good time to ask general maintenance questions.

Do I really need homeowner’s insurance?Yes. A homeowner’s insurance policy (or a receipt for one) is

required at closing, so arrangements must be made beforehand. Involving the insurance agent early in the home-buying process can save you money.

How do I make an offer?Your real estate agent will assist you in making an offer, which will

include the following information:Complete legal description of the property•Amount of earnest money•Down payment and financing details•Proposed move-in date•Price you are offering•Proposed closing date•Length of time the offer is valid•Details of the deal•

Having fun and staying fit has never been so easy! Temple offers many unique activities that are sure to appeal to every age group — and skill level. From indoor, low-impact activities to outdoor extreme sports, Temple will keep you fit while having tons of fun!

Head Outside!New Parks Projects

The face of outdoor fun in Temple will soon change — including something new in every part of town! These projects were made possible on November 6, 2007, when the majority of Temple voters cast their ballots in favor of a bond election that included seven projects designed to improve parks throughout the city. All of the projects are currently under construction, and most will be completed by the summer of 2009.

Lions Junction Water Park• represents the largest project included in the bond. This facility, set to be state-of-the art, will include a 300-foot lazy river, two 30-foot water slides, and a zero-depth, beach-entry pool. Another very popular project is an • indoor swimming pool to be put in Sammons Park. The pool will be four lanes wide and 25 yards long and heated to allow year-round therapeutic programs and swimming lessons. Other projects include improvements to Miller, West Temple, Ferguson, and Lions parks.•

Water FunWarm weather is part and parcel in these parts, so visitors and residents enjoy frequent

breaks from the Texas heat.

A quick and free way to cool down is at • Splash Park, where kids enjoy triggering the 11 colorful sprayers. The park is located in Ferguson Park and is open every day during warm months. Try speeding down 40 feet of twisting water slides at • Summer Fun Water Park, which also features a large swimming pool and a lazy river. Lake Belton• , approximately three miles outside the city limits of Temple, was created to control flooding in the Brazos River Basin. The lake functions as a water supply and fish and wildlife habitat, as well as providing recreational opportunities for the public. Recreational facilities at Lake Belton include camping, picnicking, fishing, boating, hiking, wildlife watch-ing, and more.Temple Lake Park• at Lake Belton offers a designated swimming area, a beach, restrooms, picnic tables, boat ramps, and a group shelter. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the park has a small entry fee and is open year-round. There are five public pools around town operated by the City of Temple.•

Lions Park TrailTemple is very proud to be home to a nationally recognized walk-

ing trail at Lions Park. While announcing the recipients of the 2008 National Recreation Trail designations, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne stated that Lions Park and the other new designated National Recreation Trails “exemplify partnerships and are providing a path to fitness and stewardship for Americans of all ages.”

Lions Park Trail is actually a combination of two trail types. The first, made of concrete, meanders through the lower part of the park. Along this trail are wetlands and a beautiful pecan grove. The second is located along the hillside, where walkers can see a cedar grove, fishing pond, pavilions, and a great view of the city.

Get Extreme!Extreme sports enthusiasts can try their hand at rock climbing at •Miller Springs Nature Preserve. When Lake Belton overflowed its spillway in 1992, Mother Nature carved out a huge canyon and created a wetlands. This area offers hiking, bird-watching, and awe-some rock climbing.

Several other extreme sports are also available, including skate •boarding at Temple Skate Park, scuba diving at Lake Belton, sky div-ing, hot air ballooning, paint ball, and fun flights from Wings Over Texas at the award winning Temple Airport.

Fore!Try 18 holes at • Sammons Park Golf Course, a city-run course where recent renovations include a new clubhouse, golf cart facility, lighted driving range, and reconstruction of several holes. Temple College Golf Course• has nine holes adjacent to the V.A. Hospital. Wildflower Country Club• is a private 18-hole course and includes tennis courts, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and a pro shop. If you’re eager to try something different, try your hand at the popu-•lar game of disc golf at one of two courses in Temple. The South Temple Community Park Disc Golf Course and the Rotary Disc Golf Course are designed for players to enjoy Frisbee™ in a golf-like game.

TEMPLE VISITOR CENTER, which opened in

2003, offers a wealth of information to Temple residents

and visitors alike.


www.templetx.org 67

From Dallas to Galveston, cities in Texas each have a Visitor Information Center (VIC) located near the downtown area.

Dallas chose the historic Old Red Courthouse downtown. Austin strategically chose a loca-tion on Sixth Street, and Galveston, the Strand. These locations are not on any major high-ways or thoroughfares; they are in the heart of the city, and they bring in the crowds.

A tourist is more likely to visit a site that they stumble upon or drive by, rather than one seen in a brochure. Bringing the traveler to the attraction increases activity and interest. Because of this, placing the VIC in an area that is rich with attractions helps to produce syn-ergy within that area. Active tourists are aware

of this practice. In fact, travelers will often begin their exploration in the downtown area or the historic district, because they know that valuable information can be found there. Temple took this information and imple-mented it when the decision was made to build a VIC in the center of the downtown square. Visitors to the city are now drawn to an area that is rich in attractions, history, and general information about the area.

The very site of the Temple VIC holds sig-nificant historic value. For the first 40 years of Temple’s history, the block on 3rd Street between Adams and Central, where the VIC now stands, was home to a city park and the beaux arts-style domed Carnegie Library. The

library, opened in 1904, was a gathering place for conventions and rallies and the birthplace of numerous prominent organizations until it burned down in 1918.

Booker T. Washington came to Temple in 1912 to address citizens in the Carnegie Library auditorium at the invitation of African-American business leader Robert Wells. Wells

owned a construction company that built the Kyle Hotel and many other downtown build-ings. In 1911, Wells was the keynote speaker for the 12th Annual National Negro Business League, with Washington as president-elect. Washington returned the favor by accepting Wells’ invitation to speak in Temple.

In 1914, the Texas Forestry Association sprouted here, far from any Texas forest. W. Goodrich Jones, a native New Yorker, came to Temple as a banker in 1888. No sooner had he arrived than he longed for trees in this virtually treeless prairie town. He planted the town’s first tree, a pecan. He led planting drives in Temple, and in 1889 pushed for a statewide Arbor Day. The chief U.S. forester asked Jones to survey Texas forest resources, so he enlisted friends to help. They met in the Carnegie Library to organize the Texas Forestry Association.

Today, Temple residents and visitors alike can find a wealth of information at the Temple VIC, which opened in 2003. Friendly, knowl-edgeable staff can provide travel guides and information about Temple attractions. The center is also surrounded by ample parking so that visitors can explore these attractions on foot if they choose, leaving their cars in a safe, central location.

This beautiful center is not just for visi-tors, however. Citizens are also encouraged to drop by the Temple Visitor Center and take advantage of the many services that are offered. Scores of brochures are kept in stock from all over the state, complimentary coffee is served fresh every morning, city maps are available for free, phone books are available, and much more.

City of Temple

Change is imminent. It is written all over our face — the City of Temple’s face, that is. It is visible as growth occurs throughout Temple. As you drive through Temple on IH-35 you can’t help but notice the construction.

New commercial growth, new residential growth, and redevelop-ment in our City are welcome. The City Council and staff are tasked with strategically preparing Temple and its infrastructure for antici-pated future growth while maintaining its current levels of service. Long-range planning helps to:

Ensure that we have adequate facilities to meet the demands of future •growth and developmentDevelop an effi cient growth pattern that refl ects the values of the •communityEnsure the long-term protection and enhancement of the visual •image and appearance of the communityMaintain the community’s local heritage and culture•

The strategic vision of providing the best jobs, the best education, and the best quality of life remains the baseline for which all of the City’s decisions are based.

Choices ’08In September 2008, the City of Temple City Council adopted

the Temple Comprehensive Plan, entitled “Choices ’08.” This plan is designed as a framework for guiding future development, redevelop-ment, and community enhancement in the City and its surrounding planning area over the next 20 years and beyond. Components of the plan include urban design and future land use, growth management and capacity, thoroughfares and public transit, utility master planning, housing, and economic development.

The Face of ChangeBY SHANNON GOWAN

www.templetx.org 81

TMEDOne of the premier projects in the comprehensive plan is the cre-

ation of the Temple Medical Education District (TMED). This district is located within a strategic investment zone in the city bounded by MLK, Loop 363, 31st, and Avenue M streets. The vision for the TMED is to enhance and protect the existing opportunities for medical, educational, and research activity in the area, while identifying new public and private-sector investments for the area. Members of the district include Temple Health & Bioscience Economic Development District, Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Temple College, Central Texas Veteran’s Healthcare System, Texas A&M System Health Science College of Medicine, and the City of Temple.

The district is designed to create identity, a sense of place, and an enhanced value that will attract and retain a vibrant mixed-use envi-ronment. Features of the plan include creating a veteran’s memorial promenade, an extensive hike and bike trail system, development of the new four-year medical school, a performing arts center, a math and science magnet school, a park encompassing a lake, generous land-scaping and hardscape, and high-density mixed-use development.

Redevelopment Grant and Incentive ProgramThe Redevelopment Grant and Incentive Program, developed

by the city, facilitate new public and private-sector investments for the city’s strategic investment zone corridors. These corridors were established to make the city a more desirable place for residents and businesses and to encourage redevelopment and rehabilitation of residential and commercial properties. The corridors targeted for the program so far include 1st Street, Avenue G, and Avenue H.

Features of the program include tax abatement, façade improve-ment grants, sign improvement grants, landscaping grants, asbestos survey or abatement grants, demolition grants, sidewalk improvement grants, and waiving of platting, zoning, and permit fees. The program is administered through a partnership between Keep Temple Beautiful and the City of Temple.

IH-35 Overlay ProgramYet another initiative changing the face of Temple is the IH-35 over-

lay program. Currently in the planning stage and involving numerous stakeholders throughout the city, this initiative will help provide design criteria for new and revitalizing development along the IH-35 corridor throughout Temple. It will address allowable uses, signage, landscaping, character, connectivity, and site development require-ments. Prominent gateways into Temple will also be established.

Temple Parks BondWith growth also comes the opportunity to offer residents and

businesses new programs, services, and facilities. In November 2007, the citizens of Temple passed the Temple Parks Bond by a margin of 64.8 percent. Since that time, the staff of the Parks and Leisure Services Department has made developing the projects approved in the election their number-one priority.

Ferguson ParkThe first bond project to reach completion,

in October 2008, was the new playground installed at Ferguson Park. Other projects in Ferguson Park include an additional parking area, sidewalks, a new pavilion, and an exten-sion to the existing splash pad. All of these projects are on schedule to be finished by the end of February 2009.

Miller ParkThe Miller Park hike trail was completed

at the end of November 2008. The trail is the first in Temple to also become home to a series of life stations, which will challenge walkers to complete a fitness task before continuing.

Temple Family Aquatic CenterThe largest project on the bond, in both

price and scope, was the Temple Family Aquatic Center, newly named the Lions Junction Water Park thanks to the financial support of the Temple Lions Club. This facility, once complete, will boast two water slides, a 200-foot lazy river, and a zero-depth, beach-entry pool. Construction has already begun on the project, and it is set to be

completed and opened by May 2009, in time for the summer swimming season.

Sammons Park Indoor PoolThe last parks bond project scheduled

for completion in 2009 is the Sammons Park Indoor Pool. This 25-yard-long pool will have four lanes, be heated for therapeutic programming, and have the ability to provide year-round swimming lessons, parties, water volleyball, recreational programming, and senior swim programs.

Fire & Rescue BondIn May 2008, Temple voters cast their

ballots in the Temple Fire & Rescue Bond election. The $13.99 million bond pack-age passed overwhelmingly and will provide funds to:

Construct a new Central Fire Station #1 / •Administration buildingConstruct and equip a combination Fire •Station #8 / Training Center / Emergency Operations CenterReplace two fire engines that have reached •the end of their recommended life span

As with most newly developed communities during the 1800s, the city of Temple grew on a strong foundation that was largely based upon faith. Gathering together with family, friends, and neighbors to worship, sharing the joy and pain in pioneering a new settlement in Central Texas, was an important part of daily life. The town of Temple, founded in 1881, grew quickly and had three churches established within several years of incorporation. These first churches were of the Protestant and Catholic denominations. By 1908, the number of churches in the city had grown to 12. Throughout our city’s history, many different denominations and faiths have made their way to Temple. Several of these churches reflect a proud cultural heritage by offering services in other languages, such as Spanish and Czech, for their members.

Today, Temple continues the tradition of places of worship that offer a variety of opportunities to regularly gather together to honor God or a sacred personage, as well as share life experiences. Our city is now home to over 100 churches. However, this number does not include many “house

churches,” where smaller groups of people meet to worship in their homes.

As Temple continues to grow and expand in all areas, the fundamentals of faith that helped foster the city’s progress continue to be a key component in the promise of further develop-ment of our city. Places of worship now provide various avenues of opportunity the citizens of Temple enjoy. In addition to worship services, churches in Temple are developing programs aimed at expanding relationships that are bound in the importance of personal values and spiri-tual growth. Most area churches provide age-specific, or life-stage specific, classes or groups that allow their members maximum benefits. In addition, education has become an impor-tant factor, as several churches provide private schools where their members can access not only education, but also increased awareness of faith-based concepts. Another concept that is becoming popular in Temple is various different denominations joining together several times a year for joint community services. These special services embrace the importance of diversity in worship and denominational beliefs, while rec-ognizing the strength and importance of gather-ing together as a community.

In Temple, you will easily find just the right choice for your spiritual growth, and no matter if you prefer a very traditional feel to your worship, or enjoy newer, more contemporary methods in a faith-based facility, you will indeed find open arms and open hearts to welcome you.
