New Business in Tye during 2010

Choice Ready Mix Company is owned by Toland Smith, from Sweetwater, TX. He approached CEO Connie Selden about coming to the City of Tye.

The Tye Industrial Development Corporation decided to purchase 20 acres of land on the Northwest side of Tye citylimits as in incentitve to get the new business.

The Tye Planning and Zoning Board and Tye City Council had to change the zoning from Commercial to Heavy Industrial. That was accomplished with a lot of help from City Councilperson Sherry Lyle.

The new business located their offices in the Tye Small Business Incubator and they have leased one warehouse as their mechanical shop. This will be their centrally located offices.

They have plans for the future to build a plant in Snyder and Big Springs, Texas.

Choice Ready Mix Company has hired ten local people as employees and plans to have 15 employees in the near future. They are using several local business for their supplies and services.

We say welcome!

Honest Auto Repair owned by Vincient and Hellen Kenney has located at 237 North Street. This is also a business that Tye Economic Development Corporation helped. TEDCO purchased the building and land for the Kenney's.

TEDCO also made a loan for $7,500.00 for remodeling the building and adding a sewer line.

Vincient and Hellen Kenney come to us from Abilene, Texas. They already had a Honest Auto Repair, but wanted to own their building, rather than lease.

Please give them your business.

Denny's comes to Flying J Truckstop. Denny's opened up the middle of October in the old Country Kitchen spot. They have hired 30 waitstaff and 15 cooks.

They feature their $2, $4, $6, and $8 menus. They also have Senior Citizens discounts.

Since Denny's is so well known it should really help the Flying J Plaza and another good place to go to for food.
