The Texas Economy: The Interconnected Future of San Antonio and Austin

The Dallas-Fort Worth area has been famously dubbed as the Metroplex, though many North Texans reject the moniker. Similarly, there’s another part of the state experiencing fast development, exponential population growth and increased economic significance - the region between San Antonio and Austin.
We talk with Central Texas leaders about what’s driving the region’s favorable business climate, the impact that fast growth is having on local infrastructure and housing, and the opportunities and challenges on the horizon.
Speakers include:
Mike Kamerlander, president and CEO of the Greater San Marcos Partnership
Ed Latson, CEO of Opportunity Austin
Jonathan Packer, president and CEO of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce
Jenna Saucedo-Herrera, president and CEO of greater:SATX
Moderated by:
Henry Cisneros, former mayor of San Antonio and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
