Greater San Marcos Partnership CEO Jason Giulietti’s job is to make sure the jobs come...
Anchored by two booming cities in the middle of a booming state, the Interstate 35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin is growing faster than nearly anywhere in the U.S.As president and CEO of the Greater San Marcos Partnership, an economic development organization, he’s helped attract projects such as Hill Country Studios, an 820,000-square-foot film studio breaking ground in San Marcos this spring.
The partnership’s territory includes Hays and Caldwell counties. From 2010 to 2020, Hays was the fastest-growing county in the U.S. among those with a population of more than 100,000, according to the Texas Association of Counties. During that decade, San Marcos’ population surged by just over half.Amazon is the territory’s largest employer, with roughly 5,000 workers at fulfillment centers it has built to serve the corridor’s booming population.
“Things have not slowed down. As much as the economy looks like nationally it might be doing something, here in Central Texas, that’s not the case,” he said. “You’re seeing massive projects, a lot with B’s in the number of what they want to spend to do business here, looking at our region.” “We’re in the process now of expanding ourselves into a much larger organization,” he said. “We have interest from communities up almost as far as Waco, and almost to the border. Obviously, we’re not going to go that big that fast.”
