RETAIL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to Longview Texas, “The Best View of Texas Lake Country” where we enjoy a vibrant local economy with unmatched recreational opportunities makes the region the perfect place to telecommute, expand a business or start a whole new venture.

In recent years the city has emerged from one of East Texas’s best-kept secret to one of the TOP 30 HOTTEST CITIES IN AMERICA (2006), by Expansion Management magazine. In fact, Inc. Magazine named Longview-Marshall “as one of best places for doing business in America” (2005) and according to Economy.com “Longview’s economy continues to expand at an impressive clip. Employment in the metro area is at an all-time high thanks to broad-based job creation. Hiring activity is strongest in business/professional services, reflecting increased use of temp workers and Longview’s overall economic growth. Employment growth in Longview continues to exceed the Texas average by a healthy margin.” (2005)
