The master-planned and deed-restricted light industrial Park, operated by TEDC, features flexible lot sizes and competitive pricing to complement the Park’s existing utilities and off-site detention for shovel-ready development. The Park has attracted foreign investment with early occupant, Packers Plus, a Canadian-based corporation developing the first property in the Park on more than 17 acres. The company built a 50,000-square-foot research and development facility in 2016. SUEZ, a French-based water treatment company, soon followed with a 45,000-square-foot research and development laboratory. A more recent addition includes United States headquarters for United Kingdom-based JDR Cable Systems, a subsea power cable company.
The Park has demonstrated an ability to attract a diverse mix of tenants. Paradigm Brewing operates a 10,500-square-foot brewery that has grown popular with regional retailers and local pub patrons, and e-commerce jewelry company, Kinsley Armelle, serves more than 200,000 worldwide customers from its 4,000-square-foot headquarters office and 21,000-square-foot warehouse in the Park.
A capable and expanding talent pool helps businesses in Tomball find workforce needed to thrive. TEDC works closely with award winning Tomball Independent School District, Lone Star College-Tomball, and other stakeholders to coordinate workforce development efforts.
From infrastructure to location and land to workforce, Tomball’s comprehensive offerings bolster its reputation as a great setting for development.
Lubbock Becomes A “Hub” For Relocation, Expansion
Lubbock has long been known as the “Hub City” for more reasons than its location in West Texas. As the hub of agriculture, technology, healthcare, education, and manufacturing for the region, business owners, and CEOs are met with the resources needed to grow their business. Just as a spoke connects a wheel, Lubbock, TX serves as the destination where industries connect and opportunity flourishes.
Over the past year, Lubbock has experienced significant growth in both businesses relocating and expanding here as well as new citizens calling the “Hub City” home. Recent announcements like the monumental Leprino Foods $10.6 billion investment are catalysts for further development. A global leader in mozzarella production, whey ingredients, and other premium dairy ingredients, Leprino broke ground on its 850,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Supported by world-class food safety, operations, training, and maintenance programs, as well as monitored and controlled through leading edge automation and instrumentation, the facility expands Leprino’s existing domestic network of manufacturing facilities. The national recognition puts Lubbock on the map as a smart location to do business as it fosters all the resources needed for a company to flourish.
Whether it be agriculture, manufacturing, distribution, or technology, companies like WL Plastics, North America’s largest manufacturer of high-performance polyethylene pipe, is expanding its existing operations in Lubbock with a $40 million investment to create a second facility located in Lubbock’s Rail Port, a 526-acre tract of land located on Interstate 27 that is BNSF rail served.
With a central location in the United States, easily importing and exporting goods across the country and around the world are just one of the many advantages to locating a business in Lubbock. Reaping these benefits is the North Dakota-based manufacturer of fabricated steel, TrueNorth Steel. A nationwide industry leader, TrueNorth recently expanded its operations to Lubbock, and has since continued to see growth with a $1.6 million investment.
