Taylor’s history documented

For the past six months, nationally recognized Photographer David Valdez has been crisscrossing Williamson County, documenting this moment in time before Samsung Austin Semiconductor and other global tech companies utterly transform the landscape.

The City of Taylor Parks and Recreation Department hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony Oct. 26 to celebrate the recent completion of the Doak Park Project, funded in part through a Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant, Taylor Parks Foundation funds, a Valero Quality of Life grant and city bond funds. “When I presented to council, this corridor of the city had no amenities,” said Parks and Recreation Director Tyler Bybee. “It had this park with two ballfields, but no playground, so for kids that lived in this southwest part of town, they had to cross the main highway to get to the playground, and now they don’t.” 10/29/2022 10:41 AM
