Yesterday was a historic day for Longview.

The LEDCO Board of Directors approved three economic development projects that will strengthen our local economy and create new opportunities for our community. Together with two projects approved earlier this fiscal year, we've reached a milestone we've never achieved before—five approved projects in a single fiscal year.

Here's what that means for Longview:
✅ $323 million in capital investment
✅ 328 new full-time jobs
✅ 147 existing jobs retained

Yesterday's approved projects represent new investment from Robroy Industries, Quanta Services, and WPC Services.

Behind every project are families, careers and opportunities that strengthen our community for years to come. We're grateful to our Board of Directors, our city and community partners and the companies that continue to invest in Longview's future.

Here's to a record-breaking year! 🥂

We’ve spent the last two days in South Padre, Texas at the Team Texas Consultant Summit connecting with site selectors from across the country.

This event has provided valuable opportunity to learn firsthand what site selectors look for when helping companies choose their next location. By asking thoughtful questions about their decision-making process, the information they need, and how communities can better position themselves for success, we can use their insights to refine the way we promote Longview and ensure we're meeting the needs of the companies and consultants we hope to serve.

Thank you to Team Texas for hosting events such as this one that help us in our mission to diversify and expand the economy of Longview. The sea turtles were just the cherry on top!
