Scenic City Certification Program

The mission of the Scenic City Certification Program is to support and recognize Texas municipalities that implement high-quality scenic standards for public roadways and public spaces. The program recognizes Texas cities which already have strong scenic standards and will provide an incentive to others to adopt and implement the kind of stringent criteria that has been proven to enhance economic development, improve quality of life and foster a sense of place. A city should not apply unless it already has 1) a strictly regulated and enforced sign code, 2) a ban on new billboards, and 3) a landscaping and tree planting program.

Tyler meets these requirements but I bet Tyler officals don't know about this. City Council will not spend a penny to promote Tyler. Any small amount spent by the Chamber of Commerce or Economic Council has to come from private funds or motel taxes. Again, Tyler has the lowest city property tax rate of any city over 15,000 in Texas, About .21 per 100 dollar evaluation to show for there frugality, but no job growth either. No incentives spent to attract business.
