Cory Taylor comes to the Southeast Texas with a simple and important goal: Meet the construction and maintenance needs of Liberty and Chambers Counties with the resources entrusted to him.
It will be a big job.
Houston is expanding eastward. Many people are moving eastward and making their homes in Chambers and Liberty. Subdivisions and businesses are springing up everywhere. With the second phase of the Grand Parkway completed and open to traffic, more and more businesses see this part of Southeast Texas as a great place to expand and live.
Meeting those transportation needs will be a big challenge. However, Taylor is one of those TxDOT employees who is dedicated to tackling problems head-on.
“We have a big letting coming up for the next several years,” said Taylor. “My plan is to continue improving transportation and working with city and county officials as well as Harris County as they move outwards”.
Cory comes to the Beaumont District by way of the Tyler District where he served as Assistant Area Engineer for the Longview Area Office.
After graduating from Texas Tech University in 1993 with a degree in Civil Engineering, Cory joined TxDOT full time working in the Atlanta District. There, he served as an engineering assistant in the Gilmer Area Office.
In 1999, he received his Professional Engineering license and was promoted to Assistant Area Engineer for the Gilmer Office. He transferred to the Longview Area Office in February 2005 until his new assignment in Liberty.
Cory, and his wife Jennifer, have two children; 10 year old Emma and 7 year old Kara. He enjoys camping, hunting, fishing and Golf.
The next time you are in Liberty, make sure to visit the Area Office and say hello not only to Cory, but the rest of the engineering and maintenance staff.
Happy Driving.
