Economic development: improving the quality of life through job creation

Economic development: improving the quality of life through job creation

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “economic development?”

At its basic definition, economic development is about improving the well-being of a community.

For the past nine years, the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) mission has been focused on improving the quality of life for the residents of Hays and Caldwell counties by facilitating the creation of new and good paying jobs. More specifically, GSMP recruits new companies to locate and expand their operations to the Greater San Marcos region — think of businesses like Mensor, Epic Piping, Amazon Fulfillment Center, and most recently Urban Mining. GSMP also assists already established companies with growth and expansion aspirations. And during this unprecedented time, GSMP is connecting established companies with the informational and financial resources they need to overcome the challenges brought on by COVID-19.
