Economic Development
Opportunities just don’t grow here - Uniquely cultivated by old world German heritage, industry-diversified business brims with innovation yet remains deeply rooted in the sectors of manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, distribution and aviation. Balanced by an affordable, yet enviable quality of place - it’s no wonder the city has grown 55% in the last 8 years, outpacing the state average. New Braunfels has access to a growing 400,000+ affordable, well-trained labor force and ten colleges and universities within a 30-minute commute. Complimented with a pro-business leadership attitude, competitive incentives, low tax burden and easy access to IH-35 and IH-10, its easy to understand why companies such as Wal-Mart Distribution Center, The Coleman Company and The Scooter Store have relocated here. Over 300+ days of sunshine a year and nearby rivers, lakes, Schlitterbahn (America’s #1 Rated Waterpark) and over 500 acres of outdoor recreation make New Braunfels a desirable destination for work – or play, year round.
