San Antonio has always been an economy to watch. This strategic and targeted approach to regional growth is another step toward becoming a dynamic force for job creation in Texas. I look forward to more big wins that will mean good paying, sustainable work for Texans. The State of Texas is All In.

— Governor Greg Abbott

Building a strong team, a compelling strategic plan and a targeted approach, bringing together workforce and global development agencies, and a deep commitment to advancing the region in a powerful way. That is what we’ve been working on at the SAEDF, and the underpinning of our efforts to accelerate the growth of our region. We have much to work with in this special place. It’s time to forge ahead.
