With this great partnership, we have exceeded our expectations,” said Mayor Susan Narvaiz. The regional group, Partners for Progress, contributed initial funding earlier this year to work with the City of San Marcos and hire Market Street Services, Inc., a community and economic development consulting firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. Partners for Progress includes the City of San Marcos, Economic Development San Marcos, San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, Hays County, Caldwell County, the City of Lockhart, the City of Luling, Prime Outlets, Texas State University-San Marcos, Central Texas Medical Center, San Marcos CISD, and Gary Job Corps. “Virtually every community across the county is facing a challenging economy. However, today’s uncertainty should not prevent local economic developers from planning for the future. The timing of this process is essential for Greater San Marcos to build its capacity to move its economy forward,” said Mac Holladay, Market Street CEO. Last week, the firm conducted a series of focus groups and individual interviews with over 150 local business, government, education and civic leaders. The entire business community and Greater San Marcos Area residents may also provide feedback through an online survey located at www.greatersanmarcosplan.com. The survey link is located in homepage upper left corner. The survey results, combined with key demographic and market data, competitive assessment findings, a target business analysis and a workforce assessment, will be used to develop the first comprehensive plan for economic development in the Greater San Marcos Area. About Economic Development San Marcos Economic Development San Marcos is a public-private partnership between the City of San Marcos and the Greater San Marcos Chamber of Commerce that is responsible for creating new primary jobs through business retention, expansion, and recruitment. The organization has a 12- member board that also oversees incentive requests and the economic development strategic plan for the city. # # # presents….. “Soaring to New Heights!” 25th Annual Auction Saturday, May 30, 2009 LBJ Student Center Ballroom Texas State University 6:30 PM Tickets $25 per person For more information, please contact: Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center PO Box 234, San Marcos, TX 78667-0234 512-396-3404 • www.hcwc.org Sponsorship Levels Eagle Sponsor ($2500) receives listing on large display banner the night of the event, 16 admission tickets, reservations for two tables with priority placement (MUST RSVP), a listing on the inside of the program, Eagle Sponsor listing in a thank- you ad, and table gift.
