Thinking ink for 60 years.

At Texas Bank and Trust, community is more than just an idea.

It is a place where our story begins; where our families grow; where faith leads us home.

It is that sense of belonging we feel when we come together with shared responsibilities and common values.

It is the very reason that when neighbors help neighbors, we become…

Longview loves green. We love the evergreen trees featured throughout our beautiful landscape. We love the green spaces of our parks and trails. We love the quality of life that has created a hearty environment for existing business to thrive and new businesses to open.

As a graduate of Longview High School, I know too that Longview loves our Lobo green! As mayor, I know we also love our Spring Hill Panther blue, Pine Tree Pirate gold, and Hallsville Bobcat purple. We have great schools serving our community, working hard to prepare our students for the future. I was blessed to grow up in Longview. After moving away to complete my surgical training, I could have chosen anywhere to raise my family; but no place could ever be “home” in my heart, like Longview. As Longview continues to expand our green spaces and create economic opportunity, I believe current students will want to call Longview home for their families too.

Whether you are new to Longview, have been here a while, or are just visiting, the City of Longview welcomes you with open arms to enjoy the view!

Dr. Andy Mack

Mayor, City of Longview

As we usher in 2019 and the third year under the Chamber’s five-year strategic plan, R.E.A.C.H., our board, volunteers, and staff remain focused on the blueprint brought forth. We will pilot, asses, and recalibrate as needed to accomplish the major initiatives underway.

R = Redevelopment E = Education A = Advocacy C = Collaborations H = Health The Chamber’s Foundation Board continues to advance the priorities of our business community while working with key stakeholders. One focus area is to aid in the transformation of underutilized areas of our community while remaining in alignment with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In 2018 the Foundation facilitated the opening of the East Texas Advanced Manufacturers Academy. Goals for 2019 include growing student population, securing grants and funding for additional equipment, and adding curriculum.

Education initiatives will continue to strengthen as we address workforce development needs. We will continue to: • Provide tools to help students plan for their future, • Convene key stakeholders at the Partners In Education Conference, • Promote the Texas Internship Challenge, • Support TX 60 x 30 and Texas 2050, and • Advance our Career Ready Plus campus certification program in partnership with Ware Elementary School.

Representing the Voice of Business will continue to remain at the forefront of all our initiatives and areas of work. We will build on the unprecedented involvement and leadership of the advocacy team as we prepare for the East Texas Coalition Legislative Trip to Austin. Coffee Conversations at the Chamber will continue to focus on priority areas that impact YOUR bottom line: health care, tax reform, school financing, regulatory systems, and more!

Building a culture of health will be no easy task! The Chamber is committed to serving as the catalytic leader by launching our collective impact work around health and wellbeing: HealthyVIEW. We revived our Association Health Plan for Small Businesses and launched HealthyVIEW of East Texas, encompassing 31 East Texas Counties.

The R.E.A.C.H. strategic plan is our roadmap to the future. COLLABORATION is the key to success. Together we ARE stronger and together we WILL continue to trail blaze into the future. We believe by working together we can move Longview forward and realize a more vibrant community for the generations who follow us.

Construction for Phase I began in the summer of 2018, and with the cooperation of Mother Nature, the board of the LANC hopes to have doors to the membership park open a year following.

Like many emerging parks in cities these days, the Longview Arboretum is a public-private partnership with the City of Longview. The Longview Arboretum will officially be a “city park” but with a non-profit guiding the fundraising, beautification, and programming.

Street Smart s Thinking: The Secret of Urban Renewal

by Kimberly Fish

Are streets sexy? In downtown Longview, they’re one of the most talked about assets of urban renewal. And have been since the 1990s. They’re the secret to making successful city center redevelopment a reality, but although the mosaic of bricks puts the iconic Texas lone star at the heart of our downtown intersections today, most people don’t think roads are beautiful, much less anything with sizzle. The phrase “street smarts” is even more unusual. But “street smarts” is one of the catchphrases tossed around in conversations intrinsic to the urban renewal models and it’s that kind of strategic and small thinking that will improve the way we work, live, and play in Longview.

Major street work in downtown Longview has drawn to a close, marking another step toward creating a vibrant city center for residents and businesses.

U N I Q U E LY L O N G V I E W 2 0 1 9

Beginning with bond elections in 2004, the city has invested more than $42 million on street projects in central Longview, from Green Street to Young Street, Cotton Street to Martin Luther King Boulevard, and including the $26 million spent specifically downtown in the city center. With nine specific projects improving infrastructure, function, and streetscapes, the heart of Longview glows today like a beacon attracting growth, entertainment, and investment. After fourteen years of street work, Longview’s residents and downtown business owners are glad to

that smart streets move people around the city, even to downtown. As a bonus to aesthetics, new bricks were embedded in an artistic Lone Star design at downtown intersections — a nod to our past and a definite statement on our Texas pride. Landscaping and wide sidewalks foster the walkability that residents have long said they wanted to see in their city center. Developers looking to bring residential, retail, and office space into the heritage spaces now have the infrastructure to support the visions cast through the recent Small Area Plan—a subgroup of the Longview Comprehensive Plan.

Water cooler conversations about urban renewal frequently circle back to having walkable urban areas. Translated, that means sidewalks, bike lanes, and roads that can serve multiple needs. Mobberly Avenue has been highlighted as a road that can benefit from a smart street plan; a masterplan that will take a fourlane street and redesign it to function with more pedestrian-friendly features as a three-lane street utilizing turn lanes, bike lanes, and bus stops. When a road no longer functions to a highdensity, it becomes a prime candidate for slowing the traffic, bringing its function back to supporting the people who live there, and providing space and opportunities for small business,

“There has been an emphasis - thanks to both the comprehensive plan and the subsequent downtown small area plan - on creating vibrancy in our community through walkability and bike-ability through trails and through the streetscape projects.

more than a talking point. It becomes a tangible address for prosperity.

Uniting city parks with a purpose toward changing the way people view their city is also a significant factor in renewal.

With a park deficiency for the population ratio, city leaders and staff, along with an enthusiastic band of park supporters, have nudged water cooler conversation toward the idea that Longview needs to invest in its park system and embrace the expansion offered by sympathetic non-profits. The Green and The Longview Arboretum and Nature Center are two public-private partnership endeavors that not only answer the call for more parks in the city, but fuel the urban renewal momentum with the kind of green spaces where people like to gather. It’s not a stretch to see how The Arboretum could be a catalyst for urban renewal along the Cotton Street corridor connecting downtown to Lear Park, not only from the immediate beautification impact, but also in its role as a connector to other parks and green spaces. The hike and bike trails in Longview are — in a long-range plan — destined to be brought south to run beside Grace Creek and make The Green a logical hub for outdoor connectivity.

Great cities aren’t born, they’re made — from the inside out. The good news: there are rational reasons that successful cities are attractive.

Longview just needs to think smart

A Win for Longview!

With the momentum of the 2015 Longview Comprehensive Plan fully engaged in November 2018, voters overwhelmingly approved a three-pronged bond package that will deliver multiple large scale construction projects to enhance public services facilities, road improvements, and park development for years to come. Proposition A provides $52.41 million for public safety improvements such as construction of a new police building, upgrades to three fire stations, and relocation of a fire training facility.

Proposition B provides $27.09 million to make street sidewalk improvements on Reel Road, Fairmont Street, Cotton Street, and Mobberly Avenue. Proposition C provides $24.71 million to improve multiple city parks including Lear Park, Broughton Recreation Center, Cargill Trail, McWhorter Park, Stamper Park, and the Longview Arboretum and Nature Center.

The Chamber:

Mapmakers for Longview’s Future

by Kimberly Fish

“Catalyst for Change” is the well-earned buzz at the Longview Chamber of Commerce: Convening community leaders and champions to tackle difficult issues impacting business and creating positive changes that will influence this community for decades to come.

This mission has been ongoing for several years to bring the right leaders together creating the shared vision for change. Leaders took on the challenge of Workforce gaps by creating repeatable education programs and the first Academy for technical certifications that feeds into the local business workforce, and partnered with city leaders in creating critical communications influencing the positive passage of the city’s $104 million bond package for Safety, Infrastructure and Parks. Some initiatives in the works came to full fruition and move forward into 2019, some of which catalyzed in the inter-city trip to Waco, Texas. Leaders have embarked upon the challenge of creating the first Cultural Arts District, and congealed on a shared vision to create The Academy.

“Bringing leaders together to explore and understand what makes cities healthy is the key to finding the way forward for Longview.”

– Kelly Hall, President and CEO, Longview Chamber of Commerce welcomed a few unplanned surprises, and reached out even further to become one of the go-to sports and tourism leaders in the state. No one really recognizes the Waco of today from even five years ago.

Longview’s delegates found rich material to learn from, engaged with generous and helpful Waco leaders, and came back home energized by the shared parallels to a sister city.

When LEDCO puts their energy into a project they fire on all cylinders. 2018 was a banner year for LEDCO and its board of directors as they brought in several successful ventures in manufacturing and industry. With the opening of the George Richey Road extension across North Longview, LEDCO’s North Business Park became the beacon for industrial investment that the board of directors had long known it could become.

The energy in the North Business Park is not limited to dirt-moving equipment.

Keyboards can create their own symphony of success as evidenced by the uber-creative environment at the now opened iClassPro software company headquarters. Already a comfortable resident in the North Business Park, iClassPro acquired 14.5 acres and expanded its facility, doubling the site size to over 20,000 square feet – including adding 19 new jobs.

With the interactive workspace and intentionally playful and stimulating environment, iClassPro provides a variety of web services specializing in online registration/class and management scheduling/payment processing for children’s activity centers.

“While tailored for dance, cheer, gymnastics, and swim, iClassPro serves a variety of clientele.”

– Madalaine Lane, iClassPro Public Relations Bass Engineering joined the ever-growing roster of business addresses citing the North Business Park and its enviable transportation artery. An engineering firm with a 50-year successful history in the oilfield industry, Bass Engineering acquired 10 acres in the business park and made plans for a 24,000-square foot facility.

After the groundbreaking in June 2018, RLM Contractors began work on the $3.5 million investment, a move that will also add 11 new jobs to the firm.

All the energy directed into landing these enviable contracts, coupled with ongoing efforts to bring other manufacturing and industrial endeavors to Longview is well noted, but that wasn’t the only major accomplishment for LEDCO in 2018.

U N I Q U E LY L O N G V I E W 2 0 1 9

The Bass Engineering groundbreaking ceremony was held at its North Business Park site in June 2018.

“We had individuals from all ages that attended, and it was so cool to see children excited to come out and learn about the job opportunities Longview has to offer.

That glimpse was so important in building our future workforce here in Longview and educating not only our children, but our citizens to what this community has to offer.”

– Amanda Hlozek, Marketing and Communications Director, LEDCO Working with Longview Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, LEDCO’s Marketing and Communications director brought a unique idea to life – one that served dual purposes – because not only did it provide a means to showcase the big industry and manufacturing leaders in Longview, but also furnished children and adults a peek into the special skill sets cultivated by today’s workforce.

Creating this awareness opportunity was a complicated puzzle of scheduling, safety concerns, and mobility, but the planning that began in 2017 yielded a hybrid of experiences for community

members who decided to see what “Big Techs” was all about. Despite the weather, the one-day winter extravaganza known as The Big Techs Tour became one of the most buzzed about community events in 2018. Longview has long had a big industry culture, one that dates back to the 1870s, but today’s manufacturing giants operate on such a broader scale that seeing the technology and touring the facilities gave Longviewites a new appreciation for what happens right in their own backyard. It also gave these manufacturing partners an opportunity to tell their story in a sophisticated version of “show and tell.” With hands-on exhibits, like 3-D printers provided by LeTourneau University, the LongviewWOW children’s museum played a big part in bringing the larger-than-life experience of touring massive manufacturing facilities into a touchable expression for children who had just discovered this bigger side of Longview.

With onsite tours scheduled at Komatsu, Eastman Chemical, Neiman Marcus,

Holt Cat, and AAON, tour participants walked the industrial sites oohing and ahhing over the gigantic machines and enormous spaces necessary to create industry-leading technology. From air-conditioning products to ginormous earth movers, the hosts of these leading companies explained processes, answered questions from the guests, and created a new connection between consumers and providers that had never existed in Longview’s history. Other technology exhibits at the Gregg County Historical Museum and Kilgore College helped round out the hands-on learning that occurred that rainy Saturday.

Raising community awareness and showcasing some of Longview’s largest employers combined the assets of CVB and LEDCO in a new and interesting program, one that has had a lasting impact on the children who will grow into tomorrow’s workforce. Facilitating big decisions by national and regional companies choosing new venues to grow business is all in a day’s work for LEDCO.

Although its regular duties facilitating tourism and travel requests, helping with conventions, and maintaining an active presence in social media and traditional media forms can be daunting, the CVB is aware that people will look to it as the voice for this sesquicentennial celebration. With an extensive calendar of events being created within the five months dedicated to celebrating this significant city birthday, the CVB will be an informational resource for residents and visitors of what is coming and how they can participate.

Several leadership groups in the city, from the Junior League to Ambucs, have volunteered to sponsor and support elements of the celebration and more are welcomed to participate. From commemorative magazines to a Passport Program that will reward children for attending a majority of the events, big ideas and small budgets come together so that everyone can participate in the education, artifacts, and civic pride of this historic occasion.

There will be several significant events in which everyone of every age in Longview can be involved and/or enjoy the delights that come with a city-wide birthday party.

A variety of significant banners, mascots, and billboards celebrating this milestone will be spotted around the city, and numerous ways for businesses and groups to support the efforts, also.

You can email Laura Hill (lhill@longviewtexas.gov) for preliminary meeting locations and dates, and visit the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau website for updated information.

Organizers are hoping to share momentum with several area churches, schools, and businesses who also celebrate a significant birthday in 2020. Being the hub of the wheel that turns East Texas is no light responsibility, and as Longview has grown so has its influence. What we do with that level of stewardship will be the stuff of the next

Highlights of Proposed Events to Anticipate: • The Junior League of Longview will host the Sesquicentennial Ball February 22, 2020 • Various downtown churches are also planning correlating 150th birthday celebrations for their congregations • Traveling exhibits at the historical museum, train depot, and library • A commemorative book, by author Van Craddock, regaling the tales of old Longview • Music events, celebrating sounds from all eras, at Heritage Plaza • Longview AMBUCS Grande Sesquicentennial Trek April 18, 2020 • A Longview Passport: student adventure curriculum like “Where’s Waldo”

Proud of our past.
