Letters of Welcome Kenny Martin 2008 Chairman of the Board

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 support of our hardworking community. It is no wonder that Temple continues to grow and prosper through the years.

Since its beginning with the railroad in 1881, Temple has seen the development of warehouses, manufacturing, distribution centers, retail, research and development, government, agriculture, social services, education, and of course, health care. We are privileged to have a Bioscience and Research District here, as well as three major hospitals that provide incredible medical care.

Temple residents are determined people who are committed to its schools and colleges, to the revitalization of our downtown business district, and to the enhancement of our neighborhoods as well as our parks, and the city has that quality of life theme interwoven throughout. My parents raised me in Temple, and I have come back to raise my own family in this outstanding city.

Temple is a great place to begin a business. The Temple Chamber of Commerce has several services for brand new and existing businesses and desires that your organization would call Temple home. There is an abundance of advantages that our city can offer you, and we will look forward to sharing this attractive place with you.

Kenneth L. Martin 2008 Chairman of the Board

and President of Worldclass Management 10 Temple Chamber of Commerce

Ken Higdon President of the Temple Chamber of Commerce

On behalf of the Temple Chamber of Commerce, its members, Board of Directors, and staff, we are pleased to provide you with the 2008 Temple Chamber of Commerce Community Profile & Business Referral Guide. This publication will provide a broad-brush look at our community.

This magazine would not be possible without the support of our many member businesses.

The businesses represented in this publication represent the members who invest dollars in the future of Temple through their membership in the Temple Chamber of Commerce. We urge you to patronize these Chamber members and purchase, or utilize, their vast variety of goods and services.

Temple has one of the most stable growth economies in not only Texas, but in the entire United States as well. Use this guide as an introduction to Temple and to the many amenities we have to offer.

We hope you enjoy this guide, and we encourage you to come by the Temple Chamber, or visit our Web site at www.templetx.org, for additional information concerning Temple and the Central Texas area.

t temple Chamber of Commerce Continuing to Promote the Growth of Temple Business

by brynn ray

O

rganized 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-year existence, the Temple Chamber of Commerce has influenced the economic growth and community development of the area, and its current programs and initiatives continue to support its enduring mission.

The mission of the Temple Chamber of Commerce is to facilitate, support, and promote the growth of Temple business and the improvement of the region’s quality of life.

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. Chamber members are offered a differ different networking event every week, at different times of the day, to accommodate all schedules. The Business Networking Breakfast is for early risers. Each month, a different business hosts this event and is allowed to present what they do. Breakfast is provided to participants, and afterwards, attendees may network with the host and each other. Lunch is provided at 5 Minute Networking, a midday event. This event is similar to speed dating, as participants have five minutes to get to know each others’ companies; when the bell rings, they rotate. After the event is over, participants log into their profile to see contact information for people they met. The Small Business Roundtable is a quarterly networking seminar where small business owners are exposed to big business resources, such as marketing strategies, insurance needs, image branding, and technology. Each event also features a speaker, who focuses on the yearly theme.

The Chamber targets business growth and development.

For more traditional networking, Business After Hours is an after-five event that allows individuals to mix and mingle, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, and distribute business cards in a relaxed environment.

A growing city needs a thriving workforce. The Chamber accommodates this need through its Workforce Development Committee and initiatives. The successful workforce of a community begins with its students. So that its members may have wellprepared and highly equipped employees, the Chamber is involved with local high school students in a job-shadowing program and through the John Ben Shepperd Student Leadership Forum. Like a working machine, the local workforce must be maintained.

The Chamber promotes programs that retain employees in the local workforce by assisting them to develop necessary skills and knowledge for the ever-changing workplace.

Another area of focus for the Chamber is the development and promotion of programs that tap the resources of military families departing from the Army at Fort Hood. The Chamber maintains a close relationship with its sister organization, 13th Sustainment at Fort Hood.

Government Affairs is an area of increasing interest and impact for cities all over the state. The Legislative Affairs Committee is composed of various business and community leaders who understand and focus on city,

state, and federal legislation that affects the Temple community. This key group of individuals tackled issues such as transportation, signage, education, and building ordinances in 2007. 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 an apolitical 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 benefits Chamber members, and because of this, 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 influence. Leadership Temple, organized and operated by Chamber volunteers 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 success 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 www.templetx.org 11

programs, there are Chamber committees that feed community development, 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.

A vital aspect of any chamber of commerce is Member Services. The Chamber exists because of its members, and it is impor important to provide them with events, programs, and information that will benefit them. The Chamber communicates with its members in a variety of ways. The Chamber Connection is a weekly e-mail that keeps members informed of upcoming events, projects, and initiatives.

It serves as a reminder for registration and correspondence as well. The monthly Focus on Business, produced by the Communications Committee and printed once a month in the Temple Daily Telegram, informs the community about Chamber events and activities and recognizes new and renewed members.

Produced annually is the Community Profile & Business Referral Guide, which is a comprehensive magazine about Temple that includes demographic information, helpful phone numbers, and a directory of Chamber members. To assist members, the community, and visitors to the city, the Chamber also produces a detailed city map every 18 months and assists in the production of a quarterly Visitors Guide to Temple.

New businesses and new locations are great causes for celebration, and the Chamber provides official ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new companies and groundbreakings. The Red Carpet Ambassadors, often considered official Chamber representatives, are present at every ribbon-cutting and groundbreaking ceremony. Red Carpet Ambassadors enthusiastically welcome new members, attend ribbon cuttings, and assist with Chamber and community functions. Throughout the year, Chamber members and volunteers donate many hours to events and initiatives. An annual Awards Banquet is held is to highlight and recognize these outstanding volunteers for the past year.

In addition to member benefits, the Chamber offers community assistance. The office receives thousands of calls each year from visitors and locals seeking business listings, a place to stay and eat, a telephone number, directions, relocation information, and more. Information on Chamber membership, events, programs, and economic development, as well as a searchable business directory, are available online at www.templetx.org, along with other helpful community information.

The Chamber is led by a Board of Directors, operated by staff, and driven by 1,250 member businesses. Its mission has been a successful one in the past 100 years, and with the constant support of its members and volunteers, the Chamber will continue to make a positive impact on the growth of Temple business and the improvement of our quality of life.

In 2007, members and staff gathered to celebrate the Chamber’s 100th anniversary.

Residents & Businesses Strive to Keep Temple Beautiful A Journey in Progress

By Elizabeth Garth

K

eep Temple Beautiful (KTB) began with a group of Temple citizens who wanted to restore, maintain, and create beauty for the City of Temple’s residents and visitors. Since that time, KTB has flourished and steadily uplifts the face of Temple. The mission those founding residents had has blossomed into a successful, award-winning organization. KTB was the recipient of the 2006 Governor’s Community Achievement Award, Gold Star Affiliate Awards, and Sustained Excellence Awards.

Many residents aren’t familiar with all that KTB encompasses and the challenges that are often presented to the organization. Some think that KTB’s main focus is on planting trees and flowers, but there are so many more facets to the organization than natural aesthetics. There are clean-up initiatives, community service programs, education of Temple’s youth, and city parks initiatives, among others.

KTB does focus on environmental wellness, beautification, litter prevention, environmental education for teachers and students, waste reduction, and recycling. Through the “Tree for Me” program, KTB teamed with the City’s Parks & Leisure Services Department to provide 100 trees to homeowners who are committed to their successful growth and will thus create more attractive, tree-lined streets in Temple.

Just as litter prevention and waste reduction are global issues, KTB and the City want them managed carefully in Temple as well. KTB has many programs that focus on these global environmental issues.

The organization works in conjunction with the City of Temple on Household Hazardous Waste Day regarding the proper disposal of chemical, electrical, and non-biodegradable waste. There are also many creeks and streams that volunteers keep clean through often-difficult Waterway Cleanups. The “Put it Here” campaign educates students, through teachers, in litter prevention. Teachers receive information from KTB, which they can then incorporate into their classroom curriculum.

KTB develops and maintains strong relationships with the Texas Department of Transportation, the Railroad Commission, Central Texas Council of Governments, various private partnerships, and local political entities.

Keep Temple Beautiful operates through its board of directors, led

by President Thomas Baird and Vice-Chair Zoe Rascoe. As a nonprofit organization, KTB is funded by the citizens of Temple. Temple residents are encouraged to check their water bill for the opportunity to help fund KTB’s many important projects. For more information, contact Keep Temple Beautiful at 254-493-4000 or at ktb@templetx.org.

Visitors Center Bringing in the Crowds: Historic Downtown is the Perfect Place to Start a Tour of Temple

F

By Nancy Glover & Brynn Ray

rom 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 location on Sixth Street, and Galveston, the Strand. These locations are not on any major highways 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 synergy 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 implemented 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 significant 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 AfricanAmerican business leader Robert Wells. Wells owned a construction company that built the Kyle Hotel and many other downtown buildings. 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, knowledgeable 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 visitors, however. Citizens are also encouraged to drop by the Temple Visitors 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. For more information, contact the Temple Visitors Center at 254-298-5900.

Real Estate The New Face of Temple

By Matthew Monroe

O

ne need only look out the car window during a morning commute to see that the face of Temple is changing. Texas Department of Transportation’s (TXDOT) expansion of I-35 doesn’t just give local commuters a headache during rush hour — it’s also creating the perfect opportunity for Temple to change its image in the eyes of those who daily pass through the city. Metal industrial buildings that once lined the highway are being replaced with restaurants, hotels, first-class dealerships, and new retail developments like Primus’ Bird Creek Crossing and Morris Development’s Wildflower Court, located at the northwest and northeast corners of I-35 and Loop 363.

Temple’s population, which boasts one of the largest groups of physicians per capita in the nation, has been starved for culinary variety and is proof that “if you build it, they will come.� Just ask Brinker International Inc., whose Temple Chili’s is benefiting from its prime location at Loop 363 and IH-35.

Similarly, Texas Roadhouse guests are faced with a wait almost every evening. Several developers are already aware of this deficit and are preparing to meet the demand. Primus’ Bird Creek Crossing is home to Californiabased BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, with

Taco Cabana scheduled to open in fall 2008.

Morris Development’s Wildflower Court began construction and was already full at the end of 2007. It is anchored by Olive Garden and Tennessee-based Cracker Barrel, both scheduled to open in fall 2008.

The I-35 corridor is an ideal location for national retailers — not only do they capitalize on Temple’s over 100,000-strong working, daytime population, but also from the more than 80,000 commuters traveling up and down one of the nation’s major arterial highways. Target, Home Depot, Best Buy,

Real estate

Michael’s, PetSmart, Office Max, and Office Depot are among the first to take advantage of this new opportunity.

Some have expressed concern about the effect of TXDOT’s construction on sales in the area, but Mark Jordon, assistant manager of Home Depot, leaves little room for speculation when asked about the matter.

“Temple is starved for exemplary service and professional advice delivered with a winning attitude, and that’s what we do best.” As a result, Home Depot has enjoyed higher than anticipated sales, despite the inconvenience of surrounding construction, and they anticipate even more of an increase once construction is completed.

Mark Shields and Nate Nickerson of Primus note, “We chose to develop in Temple because we saw a very strong local economy with an opportunity for certain strong national retailers in an untapped market. In doing our preliminary research for the Bird Creek Crossing project, we noticed that the area was an emerging market with excellent demographics.

“Our decision to move forward was made easier because the City of Temple was so easy to work with,” the pair continues. “In fact, Temple has been one of the most responsive, competent, and helpful cities we have ever worked with. Their pro-growth — with an emphasis in quality of life — philosophy fits right in with our project concept, and their help with our development process has been invaluable.”

have purchased 10.5 acres of land on I-35 South, across from Don Ringler ChevroletToyota-Scion-Saturn, for the future site of a mixed-use development. This development will be half motorcycle dealership and half progressive retail/entertainment destination and is scheduled for completion in 2008.

Lee, a San Antonio transplant originally from Dallas, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the very beginning, the City of Temple, led by City Manager David Blackburn, has been a strong supporter of our project and has embraced our concept, which will generate revenue, not only from the Temple community itself, but more importantly from outside the city limits. We want to make Temple a destination.â&#x20AC;?

In 18 months, Lee and Sullivan tripled sales and doubled the number of employees. They are confident that now is the time to capitalize on the ever-increasing exposure that I-35 offers. They are targeting weekly regional business travelers, the endless flow of truck drivers, and the numerous commuters between San Antonio, Austin, Waco, and Dallas.

As a destination, Temple is preparing to meet the lodging demands of non-residents.

The Holiday Inn, scheduled for completion in early 2008, and Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Residence Inn, completed in 2007, are both conveniently

located along I-35. These facilities are ideal for traveling business professionals and for Temple visitors in town for Mary Hardin Baylor playoff games, private school competitions, high school sports, or to participate in one of Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many annual events.

The projected completion date of TXDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I-35 expansion in Temple is 2015. During the coming years, the face of Temple will continue to change through the leadership and direction of a proactive city government, the investments of private enterprises, and the vision of developers who see untapped potential.

This growth is obvious in the many new residential developments Temple is seeing every year.

Homes and lots are found on the northeast side of HK Dodgen Loop, which provides quick access to the city.

Downtown Potential Downtown 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 transportation, and other business found in this area, the City of Temple is encouraging residential growth here.

The Temple Downtown Development Alliance (TDDA) has been instrumental in this endeavor. Karen Gonzales is a long-time Temple resident and TDDA member. She and her husband, Rudy, renovated and own In the Mood Ballroom and the 6,600-square-foot living space on the second floor. This historic building, located at 13 S. Main, is helping revitalize downtown by promoting dance lessons, as an ideal venue for parties and gather gatherings, and as a home to downtown residents.

For this reason, Gonzales says, their building is zoned both commercial and residential.

She adds that several other downtown business owners have done similar renovations that include apartments above their stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it used to be in downtown areas, and it seems to be a growing trend in Texas,â&#x20AC;?

Gonzales notes.

Renovations are planned for the Professional Building, built in the 1920s at the corner of Central Avenue and 2nd Street. It is known to most Temple residents as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the old SPJST building.â&#x20AC;? The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, developer and TDDA member Gregg Free, says the plan calls for the creation of loft apartments, now being called Temple Plaza Lofts. It will feature more than a dozen loft apartments of varying sizes and retail space on the first floor. This is the first project of its kind in Temple, and Free hopes to encourage greater downtown growth with this effort.

If you seek modern convenience and historic ambiance, a downtown residence may be for you. Gonzales says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has its own unique feel and atmosphere. We love living here.â&#x20AC;?

A Great Choice

Temple is a place where people from all walks of life can find a suitable home. From new houses to historic homes, in both the country and the city, there is something in Temple for everyone.

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 two–three 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

Steps to Home Ownership*

p­ ayment? 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 neighborhoods, 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 are 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, stability, and security of owning your own home, they are worth it.

How does the lender decide the maximum loan amount that I can afford?

The lender considers your debt-to-income ratio, which is a comparison of your gross (pre-tax) income to housing and nonhousing expenses. Non-housing expenses include such long-term debts as car 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 mortgage payment, www.templetx.org 31

How do I select the right real estate agent?

Start by asking family and friends if they can recommend an agent. Compile a list of several agents and talk to each before choosing one. Look for an agent who listens well and understands your needs, and whose judgment you trust. The ideal agent knows the Temple 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 provide 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; things like location and size. Should the house be close to certain schools? your job? to public transportation? How large should the house be?

What type of lot do you prefer? What kinds of amenities are you looking for? Establish a set of minimum requirements and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wish list.â&#x20AC;? Minimum requirements are things that a house must have for you to consider it, while a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wish listâ&#x20AC;? covers things that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have, but which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t essential.

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 facilities like libraries and museums 32 Temple Chamber of Commerce

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. More than anything, you want a neighborhood where you feel comfortable.

How can I find out about community resources?

Contact the Temple Chamber of Commerce for promotional literature, welcome packets, 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 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 ambiance, and have lower property tax rates. However, people who buy older homes

shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

What should I look for when walking through a home?

In addition to comparing the home to your minimum requirement and wish lists, use this Home Scorecard and consider the following: â&#x20AC;˘ Is there enough room for both the present and the future? â&#x20AC;˘ Is the house structurally sound? â&#x20AC;˘ Do the mechanical systems and appliances work? â&#x20AC;˘ Is the yard big enough? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you like the floor plan? â&#x20AC;˘ Will your furniture fit in the space? Is there enough storage space?

(Bring a tape measure 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. Be sure the seller’s or real estate agent’s answers are clear and complete. Ask questions until you understand all of the information they’ve given. Making a list of questions ahead of time will help you organize your thoughts and arrange all of the information you receive.

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. Generally, an inspector checks (and gives prices for repairs on) the electrical system, plumbing and waste disposal, the water heater, insulation and ventilation, the HVAC system, water source and quality, the potential presence of pests, the foundation, doors,

windows, ceilings, walls, floors, and roof. 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 inspection clause in the offer when negotiating for a home. An inspection clause gives you an “out” on buying the house if serious problems are found or gives you the ability to renegotiate the purchase price if repairs are needed.

An inspection clause can also specify that the seller must fix the problem(s) before you purchase the house.

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.

• 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. * Source: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Temple’s Evolving Workforce Top-Notch Training and Technology Draw Talent to Temple

By Judy White House

“T

he type of people that live here create a great labor force, and the quality of life is excellent, which contributes to a hometown atmosphere. Our workers have strong values and many types of skills. Several new businesses like BJs, Target, and Home Depot were very satisfied with their new hires,” says Kenny Martin, chairman of the Temple Chamber of Commerce.

“We expect to see a lot of additional opportunities within the next year,” Martin continues. “Temple’s roots were embedded in the railroad industry, and a newcomer to the area, Toyota, will benefit substantially from our local labor force and Temple’s railroad services as well.”

According to Randy Garrett, executive director of the Temple Business Incubator, “The people in this area are friendly and have positive work attitudes. The presence of an incubator and the organizations that support and sponsor the incubator reflect Temple’s commitment to its workforce and local entrepreneurs.”

Businesses of all sizes benefit from the offerings of talented entrepreneurs. Garrett notes, “The network they create is like a domino effect, where each profits from the other’s presence.”

Ron McCune, a former vice chairman of Workforce Development for the Chamber of Commerce, describes the local workforce as constantly fluid. He sees great value in the boost in technology-oriented businesses. Like many other potential business owners, McCune remains impressed by the innovative, high-tech health science center at Temple College. This state-of-the-art center, combined with talented faculty, enables the college to offer training that other communities can only daydream about. “People from all over the world are fascinated by the quality of instruction offered here.

The ability to simulate live scenarios is one of the best there is. Officials from Japan even toured the center,” says McCune.

“Our Biotech Initiative will draw even more talent into the area.”

48 Temple Chamber of Commerce

Technology is a major factor in everything we do. The Biotech Center is among the first in the state to earn formal designation as a Bioscience District, and it has opened a new world of opportunity for businesses in our area. Joe Bray, former chairman of the Temple Chamber of Commerce, notes, “The economy, our diverse industrial base, and our location make us a magnet for attracting people to Central Texas. Our Biotech Initiative will draw even more talent into the area.”

Leaders recently identified the potential of merging technical training for area high schools into a central location. Through the collaboration of many agencies, what was once just a dream is now a dream come true. Combining resources allows us to provide a better education for area teens while increasing the availability of technology offerings.

“We must continue to develop an emphasis in new technology career paths,” says McCune. “We’re doing pretty well regarding the number of unemployed people in our area. However, we need to focus on getting more people ready to fill technical jobs.” There are wellpaying jobs for people who go to trade schools, and the community benefits by developing a local workforce capable of meeting rising demands. Businesses are attracted to areas with a workforce that is increasingly ready to deliver.

Derek Jameyson, a past chairman of the Temple Chamber of Commerce, also predicts a growing need for skilled maintenance.

“People have to be trained to develop the ability to keep things going,” says Jameyson.

Thankfully, several efforts are well under way to prepare the local workforce to support technical jobs. “Our focus is on creating the workforce we need to fill jobs, for the businesses we are trying to attract,” emphasizes McCune. The synergy that will result from the combined efforts of businesses, schools, and area government will be

Workforce

enormous. Today’s efforts are already showing results that will benefit generations to come.

Jameyson recognizes the need for the workforce to embrace technology. “It is part of every business. One of the tools of the trade.

We must embrace technology and change.”

Even the hiring process is becoming computerized and more efficient. Many employers have applicants apply online. Jameyson sees this effort as another step in modernizing the workforce; employers expect potential employees to possess an adequate level of aptitude in technology.

An additional, unique resource for the Temple region comes from a ready pool of highly trained, highly disciplined, and highly skilled ex-military personnel. Military family members are an added bonus. Bray notes, “Fort Hood is the largest domestic military installation there is. The soldier’s spouses add many skills to our workforce.” This area is supportive of military personnel and related services. The whole community benefits when skilled military employees and their families remain in the area, and Temple is committed to providing the jobs and training that will keep them here.

Chamber Board Member John Perry says, “The spouses of military personnel, along with the excellent colleges and universities, are key to helping the area’s workforce get even better. When I’ve had openings, I’ve been able to recruit well-trained local talent.”

The huge medical presence in Temple also accounts for a hefty portion of the total labor force. As a result, Bray says, “many of our residents are highly educated.”

Perry is excited about the continued growth of the Texas Bioscience Institute and Toyota.

“Our future is packed with ­possibilities. Our

entire community, businesses, and government work collaboratively to support growth in Bell County.”

Bray also predicts that growth will continue to accelerate in Central Texas. “Our current employee base is good, and we are just starting to realize our enormous potential,” he says. “The IH-35 corridor makes Temple a reasonable drive from many locations.”

A few minutes with Jameyson will help anyone understand that it takes more than education to create a superb workforce.

“People are the heart and soul of any organization. Bells and whistles are nothing without your people.”

Jameyson believes we have a good workforce that he claims is a “definite blessing for business.” For over 100 years, Temple has been home to some of the finest talent in Texas. We are fortunate to have many interesting businesses, excellent educational opportunities, and a talented labor pool that is eager to work. Temple is a city of diverse, friendly, and hardworking people.

Temple’s Biotech Center is among the first in the state to earn formal designation as a Bioscience District.

Strategic, Comprehensive Planning Prepares Temple for Growth and Development

Shannon Gowan

T

he City of Temple City Council and staff are faced daily with managing and facilitating the growth that is imminent on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horizon. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current population is approximately 60,000 and is estimated to grow to over 80,000 within the next few years.

Along with this population growth, the City is seeing a welcome boost in retail and commercial development. This City is charged with maintaining its current levels of service, while at the same time preparing Temple and its infrastructure for anticipated future growth.

All the while, the City of Temple is ensuring that its strategic goals of providing the best jobs, the best education, and the best quality of life are supported.

City of Temple staff are planning to guide future development through the creation and adoption of a Temple Comprehensive 62 Temple Chamber of Commerce

Plan. This plan is being designed as a framework for guiding future development, redevelopment, and community enhancement in the City and its surrounding planning area over the next 20 years and beyond. The purpose of this plan is to establish a vision, along with realistic goals and achievable strategies, that residents, business and land owners, major institutions, civic groups, members of advisory committees, and public officials prefer and will support with action in the years ahead.

The City is seeing a welcome boost in retail and commercial development.

Government

Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city government offices are located at 2 North Main Street.

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 community process for the completion of this plan is expected to be concluded in mid 2008.

In response to community desires and initiatives to make the City a more desirable place for residents and businesses, the City Council responded by adopting a Strategic Investment Zone (SIZ) program. An SIZ has been defined as a geographical area of the City, designated by the City Council, within which the City will: (1) employ new or existing economic development incentives, (2) develop and implement regulations and

policies, or (3) provide an enhanced level of code enforcement, to achieve specific redevelopment goals and objectives. SIZs can be neighborhoods, thorough­fares/corridors, or specific properties within the City that, because of their location, visibility, history, or condition, are likely to have a greater than normal impact on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall quality of life, vitality, or well-being. Ten unique zones have been identified in the SIZ planning process. The zones included are: â&#x20AC;˘ South 1st Street (Veterans Memorial) â&#x20AC;˘ South 31st Street â&#x20AC;˘ Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive â&#x20AC;˘ Loop 363 â&#x20AC;˘ Avenues G & H (neighborhood)

â&#x20AC;˘ Adams Avenue â&#x20AC;˘ I-35 â&#x20AC;˘ SH317 (between SH36 & Adams) and proposed Outer Loop (Moores Mill, Old Howard, Hilliard, and Old Waco Road) â&#x20AC;˘ North 3rd Street â&#x20AC;˘ North Central Temple Historic District To date, several projects in the SIZ initiative have begun or have been completed. One notable project is the proposed creation of the Temple Medical Education District (TMED).

The vision for the TMED is to enhance and protect the existing opportunities for medical, educational, and research-related activity in the area, while identifying new public and private-sector investments for the area. Potential members of the district include Temple Health

& Bioscience Economic Development District, Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Temple College, Central Texas Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthcare System, Texas A & M System Health Science College of Medicine, and the City of Temple.

Other notable accomplishments include a redevelopment grant and tax abatement program, neighborhood code enforcement boards, funding for 1st Street gateway improvements, demolition of select proper properties, and revisions to various codes, including signage and residential and non-residential standards.

With growth in population comes the need to service those residents with new programs and facilities. On November 6, 2007, Temple voters cast their ballots in the Temple Parks Bond Election, passing it by a 2-to-1 mar margin. Its passage will allow the city to provide Temple citizens with new programs and facilities that would otherwise not be possible.

The General Obligation Bond is for $9.75 million; it will fund seven projects around the city. The largest project on the bond is the construction of a Family Aquatics Center. This facility is set to be state-of-the art and will include a 300-foot lazy river, two 30-foot water slides, and a zero-depth, beach-entry pool. Also included on the bond is an indoor swimming pool to be put in Sammons Park. The pool will be four lanes wide and 25 yards long. It will also be heated to allow for year-round therapeutic programs

and swim lessons. Other projects on the bond include an expansion to the Summit Fitness & Recreation Center and improvements to Miller, West Temple, Ferguson, and Lions parks.

Long-range planning will continue to be a high prior priority for the City of Temple for years to come, particularly to promote and attract growth in the business sector. The City of Temple staff feels that long-range planning is particularly important for many reasons: to ensure adequate facilities to meet the demands of future growth and development, to develop an efficient growth pattern that reflects the values of the community, to ensure the long-term protection

and enhancement of the visual image and the appearance of the community, and to maintain the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local heritage and culture. This planning is aimed at ensuring

Long-range planning will continue to be a high priority for the City of Temple for years to come. that ongoing development and redevelopment will proceed in an orderly, well-planned manner so that public facilities and services can keep pace and residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality of life will be enhanced.

City workers prepare for a community event.

Health & Bioscience District

Driving Critical Research and Education

By Lisa Soule

T

emple voters launched the state’s first Health and Bioscience District in 2003. In its short history, the district has made unprecedented strides in establishing new research and educational opportunities in the medical and bioscience fields.

The district recently marked another success as the community sponsor of a $7.5 million Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant that will bring more than 1,500 new jobs to the area in the next decade and that will help fund critical research initiatives at Scott & White Hospital. The Temple Health and Bioscience District sponsored the Texas Enterprise Fund grant application, citing Scott & White’s initial success with cancer research under the direction of renowned cancer researcher Dr. Arthur E. Frankel, who advocates an accelerated development-to-approval timeline for new pharmaceuticals.

The District also counts the creation of the Texas Bioscience Institute and the establishment of the Scott & White Cancer Research Institute (CRI) among its feats. The CRI, led by Frankel, opened in 2005 and has since grown to include more than two dozen research projects. Partnering with Temple College and local school districts, the District was instrumental in starting the Texas Bioscience Institute, which admitted its first students in the 2006–07 academic year. The

institute, available to both high school and college students, offers a college-level practical program focusing on science and technology. Combining hands-on chemistry, biology, and microbiology labs with classroom studies and expert lectures, students receive training for a number of medical and biosciencerelated careers.

Temple Health Care Temple’s Most Dominant Industry Provides an Unprecedented Level of Care

By Lisa Soule

T

emple’s medical community grew from humble beginnings, when two physicians were hired by the railroad to care for its employees. More than a century later, health care is the city’s most dominant industry and is among the fastest-growing sectors in the region.

With high-tech health care, innovative research, and medical education, Temple provides an environment that includes everything from a community physician-owned clinic system and a busy veterans hospital to the state’s largest group practice and worldrenowned cancer researchers.

Four hospitals mark the Temple landscape: King’s Daughters Hospital, Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Scott & White Continuing Care Hospital, and the Olin E. Teague VA Medical Center, part of the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System. Research facilities, ambulatory clinics, a medical school, a home-grown health maintenance organization, and unique educational opportunities round out Temple’s health care offerings.

King’s Daughters and Sons, the hospital now boasts more than 120 affiliated physicians representing 30 specialties. The hospital is ranked by Press Ganey Inc. in the top 5 percent in the nation for inpatient satisfaction scores.

King’s Daughters recently added the $3 million Heart and Vascular Center in a new 10,000-square-foot addition on the hospital’s second floor. The center provides diagnostic coronary catheterization, electrophysiology, angiography, and interventional studies of the peripheral arteries. Interventional coronary procedures will be offered in the future.

The hospital also recently partnered with the Texas Brain and Spine Institute to provide neurosurgery services.

Established in 1897 by Dr. Arthur C. Scott and Dr. Raleigh White, Scott & White is now the state’s largest multi-specialty group practice — more than 550 physicians are

employed by the system. The hospital is ranked among the nation’s 100 top hospitals

by Thomson Health Care. It also offers the only Level I Trauma Center between Dallas and San Antonio.

In addition to its new Continuing Care Hospital, Scott & White recently opened the Center for Advanced Medicine.

Designed largely as a replacement hospital, the up-to-date facility features private rooms, a neonatal intensive care unit, and a children’s hospital. Along with plans to continue expanding its facilities and services in Temple, Scott & White has looked beyond its headquarters, opening a new hospital and clinic in Round Rock and announcing plans for a 120-bed hospital in Marble Falls.

Olin F. Teague VA Medical Center is the result of more than 60 years of medical advancement. Veterans services began in Temple in 1946. The Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS) now serves 39 counties and includes a hospital in Waco and clinics throughout the region. In Temple, the VA Hospital operates a 177-bed hospital, a 132-bed nursing home, and a 408-bed domiciliary.

The CTVHCS recently added two research labs and expanded its physical medicine and rehabilitation programs. A new tower for ambulatory care and spinal cord injuries was completed at the end of 2007. A 13,000-square-foot expansion is also planned for the domiciliary, adding physical and recreational therapy along with mental health clinics and a computer lab.

Clinic Systems King’s Daughters Clinic 1905 S.W. H.K. Dodgen Loop Temple, TX 76502 254-298-2400 • www.kdclinic.com

One of the two dominant clinics in Temple is King’s Daughters Clinic, a separate organization from King’s Daughters Hospital. Formed in 1928 by a group of physicians who practiced at the hospital, the clinic is owned by community physicians and includes about 100 doctors throughout Temple, Belton, and Killeen. Plans for growth include a new 10,400-square-foot ambulatory surgery center with two operating rooms and two procedure rooms. The Surgery Center of Temple will accommodate virtually all surgeries currently offered by providers, except for those requiring an overnight stay.

Scott & White Clinic 2401 S. 31st St. • Temple, TX 76508 254-724-2150 • www.sw.org

The second dominant clinic is Scott & White Clinic, which operates 19 regional offices throughout its coverage area, spanning from Waco to College Station to Round Rock. Temple services include ophthalmology, day surgery, and a pain clinic. Expansion plans include new express-service clinics

located inside Scott & White Health Plan pharmacies.

Medical Research Temple’s active medical community makes it a great place for research. Whether it’s clinical trials for pharmaceuticals or bench research, Temple plays a major role in providing tomorrow’s health care.

King’s Daughters King’s Daughters Clinic, in partnership with Research Solutions of Little Rock, offers clinical research trials to its patients in several areas. Current studies are being conducted in the areas of high blood pressure, chronic sinusitis, and Type II diabetes, among others.

Scott & White Because most Scott & White physicians are Texas A&M Health Science Center faculty members, the system is continually engaged in research in many specialties, from anesthesiology to plastic surgery. The system also has more than 50 ongoing cancer-related trials.

Scott & White’s Cancer Research Institute opened its doors in 2005. Since then, the institute, under the direction of Dr. Arthur E. Frankel, has grown to include a dozen investigators from around the world. With an onsite Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) lab to create pharmaceuticals and novel investigative agents devised from anthrax, diphtheria, and other lethal toxins, Dr. Frankel’s aim is to develop effective treatments and speed up the time it takes for cancer drugs to go from creation to FDA approval.

Texas A&M Texas A&M Health Science Center Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) is located on the campus of the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System. The institute began in 1975 to focus specifically on the cardiovascular system. Under a recent reorganization, faculty members of the CVRI are now part of Texas A&M Health Science Center’s new Department of Systems Biology and Translational Medicine (SBTM). Additional members have expertise in other areas, including bone biology, renal disease, and gastrointestinal biology.

A key strategy of the new SBTM faculty is to develop research, education, and training programs in close collaboration with clinical departments on the Temple campus. The reorganization means several key SBTM faculty members will be moving from College Station to Temple, and there will be new recruits. The

Division of Molecular Cardiology will also be recruiting at least four new faculty members in the coming months. Adding these new faculty, along with new SBTM hires and transfers, a total of 12 new faculty members will soon arrive in Temple to conduct cardiovascular research.

Medical Education Tomorrow’s health care professionals are training in Temple. From allied health care professional education to a full four-year medical school, the city is doing its part to grow future providers.

Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine recently expanded its Temple location from just a third- and fourth-year teaching facility to a full, four-year campus.

The move came in an effort to expand the medical class size to address the state’s doctor shortage.

High school and community college students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and earn college credit at the

Texas Bioscience Institute. The school earned a unique “middle college” designation that allows high school students to simultaneously earn their diploma and college credits. As a partnership between Temple College and Scott & White, the institute is located adjacent to state-of-the-art medical research and commercial bioscience research laboratories.

Other Health Care Services The Scott & White Health Plan has been named the Highest Ranked Health Plan in Texas by U.S. News & World Report. This health maintenance organization offers plans for small and large groups, the self-insured, young Texans, and senior citizens.

Cedar Crest Hospital and Residential Treatment Center is located just south of Temple. Established in 1988, Cedar Crest offers acute hospitalization, residential care, and outpatient counseling for children and adolescents between the ages of 4 and 17. www.templetx.org 75

Bond Will Fund Family Fun Projects

Water Recreation

On November 6, 2007, the majority of Temple voters cast their ballots in favor of a bond that includes seven projects designed to improve parks throughout the city. The largest project is the construction of a state-of-theart family aquatics center. Once constructed, it will include a 300-foot lazy river, two 30-foot water slides, and a zero-depth, beachentry 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. It will also be heated to allow for yearround therapeutic programs and swimming lessons. Other projects include an expansion to the Summit Fitness & Recreation Center and improvements to Miller, West Temple, Ferguson, and Lions parks. All of these projects are expected to be completed by 2009.

While waiting for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new pools to be built, visitors and residents find plenty of outdoor activities to keep them busy.

Warm weather is a characteristic of these parts, so visitors and residents enjoy frequent breaks from the Texas heat at local water sports venues.

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.

You can also 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.

Temple Lake Park at Lake Belton offers a designated swimming area, beach, restrooms, picnic tables, boat ramps, and a group

The district houses local favorites that include The Whistle Stop Playground and Temple Skate Park. Both parks are located in close proximity to the beautifully restored Santa Fe Depot and Gardens.

Visitors to the District can also enjoy periodic demonstrations by the model train engineers of Central Texas Area Model Railroaders, located in the Moody Depot.

Golf Golf is another great outdoor activity. Try 18 holes at Sammons Park Golf Course, a city-run course where recent renovations include a new clubhouse, golf car facility, lighted driving range, and reconstruction of several holes.

Temple College Golf Course has nine holes adjacent to the V.A. Hospital, while Wildflower Country Club is a private 18-hole

course that includes tennis courts, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and a pro shop.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager to try something different, try your hand at the popular game of disc golf at one of two courses in Temple. The South Temple Community Park and the Rotary Disc Golf Course are designed for players to enjoy Frisbeeâ&#x201E;˘ in a golf-like game.

Sammons Park Golf Course offers three sets of teeboxes for a fun and challenging golfing experience.

Arts & Culture Temple’s Thriving Arts Scene Prompts Community Involvement and Business Development

By Nancy Glover & Brynn Ray

Temple is fortunate to have experienced great economic benefits from its artistic and cultural organizations. In addition to numerous arts programs at local high schools, colleges, and universities and traveling exhibits at various museums and civic centers, Temple has solid, steady roots in arts and culture. The city’s visionary leaders continue to make strides toward future growth and expansion and are considering the creation of a performing arts district in the downtown area.

Don Nelson, vice president of the executive board for the Temple Symphony Orchestra, says, “Temple is fortunate to have a professional symphony orchestra that performs in Temple, Georgetown, Cameron, and West Bell County. We also have a high-quality Civic Theatre and Cultural Activities Center that presents many art and photo exhibitions and musical and theatrical performances. For a city that is growing as rapidly as Temple, having these cultural outlets is a strong recruiting tool for employers and a great incentive for families seeking to relocate.”

O

ver the past several decades, many economists and educators have spent countless hours defining the economic and social benefits of art and culture. Through research and study, they have found that communities prosper when fine arts, performing arts, and culture are made priority. Communities with more and varied offerings benefit more greatly than those with fewer. Many factors contribute to the upward economic trend in these study communities, such as new resident attraction, new business attraction, and job creation.

Diversity in Religion

W

orship is defined by Websterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dictionary as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a formal or ceremonious rendering of honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred.â&#x20AC;? Within the city limits of Temple, there are numerous houses of worship where citizens can congregate and pay respect.

By John C. Perry

From the initial founding of Temple in 1881, houses of worship have been a key factor in the success of the city. Within just two years, the small town already had three churches. By 1908, there were twice as many churches in Temple as there were restaurants. The growth of organized religion in the city has continued for generations, and today it is estimated that there are over 100 different churches in the surrounding area.

The face of worship has changed over the years in Temple. The earliest Temple houses of worship were typical of Protestant and Catholic churches found throughout the South. Today, Judeo-Christian churches are still prominent in the community. As Temple has grown and become more cosmopolitan, a variety of religions and denominations have come to call Temple home. For example, Temple is proud to have recently acquired the Hindu Temple of Central Texas, located at 4309 Midway Drive.

Many families and individuals consider their church a second home.

Many of the churches in Temple host activities that accommodate

worship

The growth of organized religion in the city has continued for generations. youth groups to senior citizen groups, and all ages can find worship opportunities and fellowship outlets in Temple. Recognizing the cultural diversity of Temple, some churches offer services in other languages, such as Spanish and Czech.

The City of Temple has helped foster the growth of churches by encouraging the development of “church blocks.” City streets around several of Temple’s larger churches have been closed, and the roads have been deeded to the church. This creates a “church block” where worshippers can safely navigate. It also affords churches the opportunity for easy expansion. Some churches have taken this opportunity to add educational wings or family life centers.

From century-old historic churches to the new Hindu temple, the city continues to flourish religiously and broaden its scope of worship.

Temple continues to benefit from the many churches in town, from the oldest and the largest to the newest and the smallest. As Temple follows a path of continued growth and development, the houses of worship will continue to play a key role in the life of the city.
