Good morning, Temple.

Some Temple businesses remained open for work on Labor Day—while many others closed for trips and barbecues over the long weekend.

Workers kept regular schedules as the holiday passed.

Bell County Historical Commission issued four grants for fiscal year 2026 — the announcement did not include further details on the funding.

A new investigation shows that missing volunteer advisors can make it harder for Temple boards and commissions to run city operations.

The city has 14 boards with nearly 120 volunteer experts, and some groups lose needed help when advisors do not show up—affecting how the city works.
