Tye Economic Development Corporation announces today that Randy Hill, President of APT Advanced Trailer & Equipment was named to the Board of Directors for the Tye Economic Development Corporation. Connie Seldon, Economic Development Director for Tye Texas commended Randy Hill and his efforts in the local community.
“Randy Hill built this beautiful building at a time where there was little to no business development in our area,” Seldon asserts. “When he decided to sell the property he did it in a way that the facility would never sit vacant. We now are adding an even larger business while increasing our tax base. This is great for Tye.”
Tye sits strategically at the crossroads of commerce for Texas. It is a perfect location bolstered by a reliable workforce, affordable properties, buildings ready for occupation and a pro-business local government that eagerly encourages new development opportunities.
The Tye Economic Development Corporation (TEDCO) and the Tye Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) actively spearhead many of the projects that stimulate the city’s economic growth. TEDCO provided $21,671 for new playground equipment, put up four welcome signs for the city and provided $200 in awards to businesses and residents. The organization also purchased decorative concrete blocks and steel fencing at the Julian Morgan Museum and Park, costing $13, 361.
The residents of Tye work hard to evaluate the community’s economic development needs, develop a plan to meet those needs and coordinate community economic development efforts that best enhance the quality of life in the community and maximize the public’s return on invested tax dollars.
