AUSTIN, Texas (KAUZ) – Texas is continuing to build toward its future economy with a new five-year statewide development plan that Texas Governor Greg Abbott hopes will serve as a roadmap for continued creation of jobs and economic opportunities.
“Texas is a national leader in population growth, job creation, technology and innovation, and overall economic expansion,” Gov. Abbott said. “With this statewide economic development strategic plan, we will cement Texas as a global economic powerhouse. I thank the economic development organizations and businesses across Texas who work tirelessly to ensure that economic prosperity reaches every Texas family and every Texas business. Working together, we will build an even stronger, more prosperous Texas for generations.”
Texas Economic Development & Tourism Executive Director Adriana Cruz added that it’s important for businesses and the state government to work together to build a stronger Texas economy.
“Economic development in Texas is a team sport. We work collaboratively to create and maintain an environment that is business friendly, internationally competitive, and rich in opportunity,” Cruz said.
The plan is the end result of a year-long process of consulting with local, regional and statewide organizations and businesses. It highlights which sectors can drive growth and sets benchmarks to measure the success of efforts to grow the economy.
