The Greater San Marcos Partnership is making a last call for nominations for its 2021 Burdick Innovation Award.
The nomination deadline for this year’s Burdick award is Friday. Those interested in nominating a business located in Hays or Caldwell County can visit GreaterSanMarcosTX.com/Burdick-Award. GSMP is asking for nominations to include a brief statement describing how the company has used novel methods, ideas, products or practices to find innovative solutions.
“Now more than ever, our region is becoming a hot spot for commercial innovation, creativity and ingenuity,” said Jason Giulietti, president of the Greater San Marcos Partnership. “The Burdick Innovation Award recognizes and celebrates new ideas, processes and products, all while creating great-paying jobs.”
One of the biggest challenges in securing expanding and relocating employers is having available and existing building facilities that allow employers to quickly move in and begin operations.[San Marcos, TX] [Hays County news] News, Features San Marcos News, San Marcos Record [Texas State]

With Amazon announcing the largest industrial facility ever in our region and the successful Get HIRED! Job & Education Fair helping displaced workers find new jobs or training across the region, March closed as a great example of what happens when you have purposeful economic development.
Our mission at the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) is to enhance the quality of life for ALL our residents by attracting and retaining employers that provide good-paying jobs and benefits, and in my opinion, these types of success stories are prime examples of how a win for one community is a win for all communities in Hays and Caldwell counties.

A rising tide lifts all boats, and on Wednesday, a massive tide arrived.
Amazon, the largest employer in the Greater San Marcos region, announced plans for what will be the largest industrial facility in our two-county region Hays and Caldwell counties.
The facility, an Amazon SAT-6 facility that will handle receiving and delivery of large equipment like furniture and televisions, is being constructed on 70 acres at the Whisper development (1346 Fortuna Road, located near Yarrington Road). Once completed, it will exceed one million total square feet in size. Construction on the site has already begun and Amazon anticipates operations to begin at the site by the end of 2021.
