The Greater San Marcos Partnership is seeking community input to help guide its economic development strategic plan for the next 5 years — Vision 2025.
The GSMP, the nonprofit economic development organization supporting all the communities in Hays and Caldwell counties, including Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, Lockhart, Luling, San Marcos and Wimberley, will hold a six-month planning period for Vision 2025. The planning process will be a collaboration with city and county governments, private businesses, educational institutions, local economic development partners and many other community members and stakeholders across the Greater San Marcos region. The GSMP’s comprehensive process will be used to assess and enhance the region’s competitive position to support thoughtful, diverse, intentional and sustainable economic growth.
“As Co-Chairs of the Vision 2025 Strategic Planning Process, Dr. Denise Trauth, Mr. Anthony Stahl, Rep. John Cyrier and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the Vision 2025 Greater San Marcos Community & Business Survey,” said Patrick Rose, immediate past chair of the Greater San Marcos Partnership. “The success of our region’s economic growth within Hays and Caldwell counties, over the next five years, will depend upon an insightful and well-informed strategic plan. Your feedback on this survey will help us begin the strategic planning process with the best possible perspective. Thank you for your consideration, as we know and respect the value of your time.”
To ensure everyone in the region has the opportunity to provide input on Vision 2025, community members and stakeholders are being asked to participate in an online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/GreaterSanMarcos2025, which began on Monday and stretches through Friday, Feb. 7. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and responses are entirely anonymous. Participants will be asked to evaluate the region’s strengths and challenges and provide suggestions as it relates to job creation and improving the economy. The online survey is managed by Market Street Services who is also facilitating the development of Vision 2025. Market Street Services is regarded as an industry leader in the development of economic development strategies for communities across the country.
