“This is the fifth year that we have done this event and it has been very well received,” chamber Chief Operating Officer Henry Bell said. “We are moving to Harvey Convention Center to accommodate more people this year.”
Last year, 400 people attended the State of the City, held each year as one of the chamber’s quarterly luncheons.
Bell said five years ago, the chamber partnered with the city to give the State of the City address to promote the positive services and work the city does, and to help communicate important information about the community to the businesses in the area.
Three years ago, the chamber added Leadership Tyler and the celebration of its current-year class graduation to the event, he said. On Wednesday, Leadership Tyler Class 25 will graduate.
Bell said on Thursday that 473 tickets had been sold but tickets still were available at
