Public projects are improvements of public space or spaces by public or private entities. Improvement may be accomplished through parks/ green space, enhancements or additions of streetscapes, sidewalks, landscaping, public art, banners and lighting, as well as downtown master planning. Public improvement projects should be compatible and complementary to the existing downtown or commercial district. Since 1988, the awards program has recognized more than 150 projects, events and people. Each of the categories has two separate population divisions – under and over 50,000 residents. Downtown Tyler has received 24 awards since the beginning of the program.
