Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated the significant role local, regional, and statewide economic development organizations play in creating jobs, advancing career development opportunities, and improving the quality of life in communities across Texas by proclaiming May 8-12, 2023 as Economic Development Week in Texas.

"Thanks to economic development partnerships across the state, Texas is an economic juggernaut and remains the premier destination for workers and businesses from all over the world.

Working together, we will ensure Texas remains the economic engine of the nation."
