Tyler City Council approved a zoning change Wednesday to reclassify property on North Center Avenue from M1 to Downtown Business, Arts and Culture so the site can become a family-friendly retail and entertainment area with small commercial spaces, food trucks, seating, and 10 p.m. closing. The council also approved a $3.745 million, 72-month AXON contract for police technology that will fund new interview-room recording systems immediately and body cameras that will roll out in November 2027.

A clinical trial center at the Walmart on State Highway 64 West is offering health screenings and chances to learn about joining medical research now, and it's one of four sites opened through a Walmart and Care Access partnership that will add three more centers in the first half of 2027 (Livonia, Las Vegas, San Antonio).
