If you are familiar with this column, you know that the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) exists to help facilitate the creation of new, good-paying jobs here in Hays and Caldwell counties — and you likely know that this has been a record-shattering year by all metrics.
With a record 13 announcements and more than $38 billion in the prospective pipeline of protentional capital investment pipeline already secured, we are now in the final month of our 2021 fiscal year. This year has seen twice as many announcements as any other previous year and is nearly equitable to the last three fiscal years combined. The prospective capital pipeline is also nearly six times that of our all-time previous record ($6.6 billion, which was also set in FY 2020) and nineteen times that of any other previous record before it.
These numbers are incredible for our region, and we anticipate a strong final push before our fiscal year closes on Sept. 30.
