LEAD Taylor class of 2023 taking applications

Do you ever wonder what Taylor’s Department of Public Works does, or what goes into bringing a major business that hires thousands to the area? Citizens wishing to know the answers to questions like these are invited to apply for the class of 2023 LEAD Taylor. The Leading Exploring Advancing Developing class will require a commitment of one Thursday afternoon per month beginning in January to learn more about government operations, community planning and awareness and civic culture. 11/30/2022 08:14 AM

CORRECTION:

In the Nov. 27 edition of the Taylor Press, the headline “Hutto ISD asks for state for more money” was misleading. It was correctly reported within the article that Hutto ISD considers additional funding for fast-growing districts to be a top legislative priority for this coming year. 11/30/2022 08:14 AM
