Thinking about what the next stage of growth could look like?
You build things that matter. As you think about expanding, there’s a lot to weigh: where you’ll find skilled workers, what real estate will cost you, how your supply chain holds up. The right location makes those questions easier to answer. Here’s what’s worth thinking through:
- What would lower labor costs do for your margins?
- Do you have room to grow, or are you already boxed in?
- How much are logistics gaps costing you each year?
- Will your economic development partner still be there after the groundbreaking?
You have worked too hard to let a location decision hold your operation back.
What manufacturers are finding in Snyder:
A team that stays engaged. DCOS offers concierge support across site selection, expedited permitting, hiring, and training. We stay involved beyond day one, because our work is about retention and long-term success, not just recruitment.
A lower cost of living. Cost of living in Snyder runs well below the national average, so your workforce salary goes further and you can attract talent at competitive wages without the metro premium.
A deregulated energy market. Multiple providers mean you can negotiate your rate. Wind farms and solar installations across the region feed clean energy into the grid.
41.5 million people within 500 miles via highway, BNSF Class I rail, and three major international airports within reach (Lubbock, Midland-Odessa, and DFW) as well as several other regional airports
Shovel-ready industrial sites. Snyder Industrial Park and Snyder Rail Park (34 acres) with low-cost acreage, high-capacity utilities, and rail connections.
A workforce pipeline that is built, not promised. Debt-free community college through Opportunity Scholarships, and state-funded custom training for qualified employers. We also have CTE programs through Snyder ISD, Ira ISD, Hermleigh ISD, and Western Texas College
We are helping manufacturers build lasting operations here and we know what it takes.
The Development Corporation of Snyder is more than a promotional office. We hold Type A economic development authority with select Type B tools, which gives us more resources to put behind your operation. We work with manufacturers through every phase of relocation and expansion, and we stay involved long after you’ve moved in.
We understand the pressure you’re under: workforce uncertainty, financial challenges, and the worry that comes with choosing a site you’ll spend years living with. That’s why we work as your team on the ground, handling permitting, incentive packaging, workforce training, and site selection, so you can focus on what you do best.
