AUSTIN – The University of Texas System Board of Regents authorized the University of Texas at Tyler to purchase land for its school of medicine. UT Tyler intends to finalize the purchase of approximately five acres of land located in the heart of the medical district. In a news release, UT System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife states “Acquiring land for the medical education building is yet another important milestone toward the establishment of the medical school and the transform healthcare in North East Texas.” The medical school expects to welcome its inaugural class of 40 students in June 2023.
TYLER — The final pouring of the new Rose Complex center slab was performed Thursday morning, and Tyler Mayor Don Warren was on hand. He told us all went well and gave a rundown of what’s next. According to Warren, crews will be pouring the walls over the next month or so, and they’ll be erected around early January. He says for now, there likely won’t be a lot of movement on the walls, “but once you do see movement, it’ll be quick.” Warren also said everything is on track. He told us, “It’s phenomenal…the materials have been ordered…they’re being warehoused or shipped, and…we’re still looking at next fall as a completion date.” The facility will replace now-demolished Harvey Convention Center as part of a reworked complex that will see other changes as well.

TYLER — KTBB news and operations director Paul Berry died Tuesday afternoon of an apparent heart attack. He joined KTBB more than 20 years ago after having previously been the program director and morning air personality on KTBB’s then sister station, KDOK. In addition to overseeing the editorial operation of the KTBB newsroom, he also managed the day-to-day technical operations of KTBB 97.5 FM, 600 AM and 92.1 FM, The TEAM Sports Radio. “Paul and I really loved the radio business,” said KTBB president and owner Paul Gleiser. “We spent a lot of time talking about the work of the great broadcasters that we both admired and we also spent a lot of time looking for just one more way to make this station better. Somewhere in all of that an employment relationship morphed into friendship. I’m going to miss him.” Paul is survived by his close companion Angie Swearingen of Tyler. He was 52.
