The four counties of the Texas Innovation Corridor are Hays, Caldwell, Comal and Guadalupe. The heart of the Texas Innovation Corridor are Hays and Caldwell Counties.

There are eight unique communities in the heart of the Texas Innovation Corridor: Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, Lockhart, Luling, San marcos, Uhland and Wimberley.

Texas has some of the nation's biggest metropolitan areas and some of the most wide-open spaces. With its size and diversity, rapidly growing population, booming economy, increasing role in international trade, and its overwhelming dependence on the automobile, Texas has the nation's biggest and most highly developed highway system with nearly 80,000 miles of state-maintained roads.

Two international airports (Austin-Bergstrom and San Antonio) and one regional airport (San Marcos Regional Airport) serve the Greater San Marcos region.

Several freight rails associated with Union Pacific run through the region. However, only a small handful of sites are located along existing rail spurs, leaving intermodal as the rail service of choice for the region.

Anchored by Texas State (an Emerging Research University), the region offers additional workforce developers such as Austin Community College and Gary Job Corps. Institutions such as the University of Texas and the University of Texas San Antonio are also within a 60-mile radius of the region.

Texas State's STAR Park facilities, the Army Futures Command Center and Tesla GigaFactory Texas are all within a 60-mile radius of the Texas Innovation Corridor.

The Texas Innovation Corridor is home to a reliable, capable infrastructure system - both for transportation and utilities.

Strategically located between the two major metros of Austin and San Antonio with two major international airports, rail access with BNSF and Union Pacific, and thoroughfares like Interstates 35 and 10 (not to mention the fastest highway in the country with State Highway 130), businesses are succeeding in our region because of quality transportation access.

Iron Ox, which opened the largest industrial facility in Caldwell County in 2022, shares why transportation infrastructure was the reason they chose the Texas Innovation Corridor.

Similarly, electric, sewer, water, floodplain mitigation, natural gas line and spec development capabilities are all collaboratively designed in the Texas Innovation Corridor to create the spaces needed for quality growth.

Leaders with Momark Development, Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative, Inc. and the City of Kyle Economic Development explain how utilities in Hays and Caldwell Counties are both ready for today’s demands and proactively preparing for the future of our region.
