We’re still reflecting on the strong momentum from the Texas Sundown Social at the Site Selectors 2026 Spring Conference.
The event brought together TxEDC investors, site selectors, and partners for an evening of purposeful engagement and strategic dialogue centered on Texas’s continued economic leadership.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our sponsors, CenterPoint Energy and Greater Brownsville EDC, represented by Marcela Sáenz, VP of Global Engagement & Investment, whose partnership supports meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate, and advance economic development across Texas.
We appreciate all who joined us and look forward to continuing these important conversations in the months ahead!
🌟 Investor Spotlight: Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) 🌟
We’re proud to spotlight the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) as a valued investor and partner of the Texas Economic Development Corporation.
Established by the Texas Legislature in 1934, LCRA is a nonprofit public utility dedicated to enhancing the lives of Texans through energy, water stewardship, and community service.
LCRA plays a vital role across Central Texas—generating and delivering electric power, managing the lower Colorado River, and providing a reliable water supply for communities, businesses, agriculture, and industry. Their infrastructure and services support more than a million Texans and help power economic growth across the region.
Beyond utilities, LCRA is deeply committed to community impact—supporting economic development initiatives, maintaining public parks, and investing in projects that improve quality of life throughout Texas.
LCRA’s legacy of innovation, resilience, and service continues to strengthen Texas’s infrastructure and long-term competitiveness. We’re grateful for their partnership in helping drive economic opportunity and supporting the state’s continued growth.

Texas-Sized News: Texas Jobs Council Driving Workforce Success
Last week, Governor Greg Abbott took another significant step toward strengthening the state’s workforce development strategy with the launch and inaugural meeting of the Texas Jobs Council at the Governor’s Mansion. This effort ensures Texans are prepared to meet the demands of a rapidly growing economy.
This new advisory board brings together top business and labor leaders to advance practical, high-impact solutions that support Texas employers and job seekers alike. The Council will focus on both immediate executive actions to reduce regulatory barriers and long-term policy recommendations ahead of the 90th Legislative Session.
Megan Mauro, Interim President & CEO of Proud TxEDC Investor Texas Association of Business, was appointed Co-Chair of the Council and will partner with labor leadership, highlighting the collaborative, cross-sector approach that drives Texas’ economic success.
The Texas Jobs Council will work in coordination with key state partners, including the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, to ensure alignment across education, training, and industry needs.
With a final report expected in November 2026, the Council’s recommendations will help shape the future of workforce development in Texas.
