"A Town to Add to Your Bottom Line."
UVALDE, TEXAS

This web page and Community & Economic Profile, which is available offline, should illustrate that not only is Uvalde a great town to live in, but it is also a town that can honestly add to a business' "bottom line." Blessed with an abundant and willing workforce and plenty of education and skills development resources, Uvalde is drawing industry into one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S. Uvalde is informed, supportive and combines its active local leadership, with a region that unites community organizations, regional partners and elected officials.  Federally designated as an Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community, Uvalde has a vast number of federal, state and regional incentives for businesses. Low living costs, an abundance of natural resources, cross-border relations, a fiber-friendly community, easy and affordable expansion, available and adequate training resources, and a willing labor pool are making Uvalde an inexpensive and capable solution for "adding to the bottom line."

Uvalde's position as the county seat, its role in the Middle Rio Grande region and its easy access to San Antonio and other cities in the region, are continuing to be important factors in its future development potential. The San Antonio region is one of the most dynamic areas in Texas, and its proximity offers a town like Uvalde to share in its development. Although the regional advantages are important to Uvalde, its people will continue to be the most important resource in the community.

Uvalde's growth is partially due to its location. Specifically, the Town has easy access to U.S. Highways 90 and 83, as well as the state highways that pass through the Town, connecting it to major cities like San Antonio, Del Rio and Eagle Pass. Uvalde's prominent position as county seat has also been a reason for its growth. The Town's ability to provide adequate public services and facilities with lower property costs, combined with the added incentive for quiet, peaceful and scenic surroundings, is another contributing factor. It is evident that Uvalde has been capturing alot of the region's growth, and this trend is continuing. Uvalde's future growth will be a result of its community's quality of life, and growing industry sectors, and its ability to accommodate growth in an orderly manner.
