In 2020, the Greater San Marcos Partnership convened a strategic planning process to develop a five-year, community-built and consensus-driven plan on behalf of its regional community and economic development partners.
Finalized and approved in October 2020, Vision 2025 represents the goals to build upon our region's prosperity and quality of life. These goals are volunteer-led and executed at the grassroots level.

An economic development strategic plan for Hays and Caldwell Counties
The process addressed the full range of issues that influence a region’s competitiveness, including its talent, education and training resources, infrastructure and mobility, quality of place, resiliency, and so on. The resulting five-year strategy includes actions and tactics designed to address challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and advance the region and its distinct communities, residents, and businesses forward to a new period of heightened competitiveness and prosperity, and, where appropriate, worked to integrate some of the emerging, though still uncertain, implications of COVID-19.
A diverse Steering Committee comprised of public, private, and non-profit leaders guided the Vision 2025 planning process.
