"The Home Depot Supply conducted a nationwide search to site
our new inbound customer contact center. After a detailed search and
analysis process, we selected New Braunfels. We found that the City offered an
available and skilled workforce, a strategic location, aggressive incentives and
a very cooperative attitude on the part of the City, County and Chamber that has
facilitated our project. The Chamber staff also worked with the State
which helped us receive a new State incentive as well, the first for a non-major
city. We site numerous facilities in communities across the country and
the experience to date in New Braunfels has been exemplary." Ross
Tanner - Dir. of Real Estate - Home Depot Supply
"New Braunfels retained our firm to help them with a
automotive strategy months before the Toyota decision was announced. Now
that's visionary! We were able to study Toyota and what their suppliers
need but also help New Braunfels get ready competitively. They have worked
diligently since our report was completed to incorporate our strategies and they
are paying off. They have adopted Freeport, opened a technical school and
are already planning phase 2, improved their marketing funding, and even funded
a new foundation dedicated to economic development. This is what companies
need to look for when deciding where they want to do business." Tom
Stellman, CEO - TIP Strategies
"When our operation in New Braunfels had the opportunity to
expand, we received great cooperation from the City and Chamber. We had to
add fifty (50) specialty welders that required training nearby and the new
technical school was just what we needed. The city also provided targeted
incentives to fit our needs to make the costs affordable. The city and
county also provided tax abatements to help with the up-front costs over the
next 8-10 years. Our company profits by having a New Braunfels, Texas
location. You will as well." Carl Armbrister, Comptroller -
Senior Flexonics Pathway
"New Braunfels was visionary and bold to step out a few years
ago and conceive of a post-secondary facility dedicated to the workforce
training needs of the regions citizens. The ACCD is proud to be the
education provider for the facility. We stand ready to assist new
companies in their training needs as they move facilities here." Dr.
Federico Zaragoza, Vice-Chancellor - ACCD
