The Seguin Economic Development Corporation has purchased 133 acres at the intersection of State Highway 46 and Cordova Road for a new Texas State Technical College campus. The acquisition of this land, which has been in the Urban family for generations, fulfills a long-standing objective — TSTC’s planned expansion into Comal and Guadalupe counties.
In December 2024, TSTC officially announced its plans to establish a permanent campus in Seguin, citing the region’s strong workforce demand and rapidly growing economy.
The new TSTC campus will provide training opportunities to support high-demand careers in advanced manufacturing, welding, industrial systems, engineering, health care and emerging technologies.
By aligning its programs with local industry needs, TSTC will strengthen the regional workforce pipeline and open new career pathways for students and residents alike, according to Josh Schneuker, Executive Director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation.
“Today’s announcement represents a pivotal step in Seguin’s future,” Schneuker said “By securing this prime piece of property, we are laying the foundation for a project that will transform the educational and workforce landscape of our community for generations.”
TSTC Chancellor Mike Reeser also emphasized the importance of this new campus to the development of a skilled workforce in Central Texas. “This acquisition is the foundation for a permanent campus in Seguin, which will allow TSTC to deliver on its mission of strengthening Texas with a highly skilled workforce.”
The campus will provide a regional training hub, preparing thousands of students for high-demand careers while ensuring that employers throughout the San Antonio – Austin corridor have access to the skilled workforce they need. This expansion further solidifies Central Texas as a competitive destination for investment, job creation, and long-term economic growth.
The project underscores the power of collaboration across city and county lines. Key partners include the Seguin City Council, Guadalupe County leadership, the City of New Braunfels, the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, the New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation and other regional stakeholders who worked collectively to advance this transformative initiative.
Texas State Technical College is the only statewide public technical college in Texas, with 12 campuses across the state, according to the TSTC website. “The college focuses solely on the urgent workforce demands of key Texas industrial sectors like advanced manufacturing, transportation, power and water infrastructure, construction, big data infrastructure, and health care.”
