The spirit and friendliness of the Texas frontier lives and breathes in the West Central Texas region. The region offers a mixture of modern culture that includes concerts, dance, theater and art blended with traditional activities such as hunting, fishing, cook-offs, rodeos and, of course, Friday night football. The array of recreational offerings, quality healthcare, excellent schools and affordable lifestyle make the region a great place for families, singles and retirees.
Historically known for farming, ranching and oil, the region has developed a diversified economic base of manufacturing, wind energy, healthcare, financial services, tourism and governmental services. Home to international companies, Fortune 500 businesses and homegrown enterprises, there’s a wealth of employment opportunities waiting for you. And, with four private universities, four community and technical colleges, two graduate campuses of Texas Tech University and Dyess Air Force Base, there’s a well-educated workforce.
Whether you’re a native or new to the region, you’ll appreciate the “five-minute” traffic jam and the beautiful sunsets viewed from your back porch instead of your front seat. Step into the modern west—a place where good jobs and good people get together.
