“We believe that Hays County and our rural capital area is one of the best places in the country to live, work and do business. We want to spread the word that our region boasts an incredibly skilled workforce that’s ready to attract enterprise to Texas,” board Chair Frank Leonardis said.
The center has been a great asset to the community, Leonardis said, as it has been open during the pandemic to help job seekers in the area. The original grand opening was scheduled for February 2020.
“When you’re blessed with this much of the I-35 corridor, you’re going to get to reap the rewards. There are so many economic incentives going into effect in this part of the world... We’re looking at continued job growth. It’s being driven directly by employers who continue to have confidence to create jobs in Texas,” said Bryan Daniel, the chair and commissioner representing the public for the Texas Workforce Commission.
The new center at over 10,000 square feet is almost double the size of the previous center and will continue to offer no-cost employment and recruitment services to job seekers and businesses in the rural capital area of Texas, which includes Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Llano and Williamson counties.
