When a group of Parker County residents, business owners and leaders visited Toowoomba, Australia in February of 2019, their goal was twofold â to foster a relationship with the city through a sister cities partnership, and gain more opportunities through economic, cultural and academic exchange.Â
Now, two years later, that visit is paying off in a big way with the announcement of Australian company Wagners Composite Fiber Technologies LLC coming to Cresson.
Wayne Garrett, chairman of the Parker County Economic Development Council, said Wagners was one of the first âbig winsâ for the council.
âWhen we went to Australia, we saw what [Wagners] meant to that community and their quality, and weâre confident that theyâre going to be very good corporate citizens,â Garrett said.
