Cofran's Texas . . .
Hill Country Portal

The Hill Country is growing steadily as an economic and business force. The larger towns and cities have chambers of commerce, convention bureaus, visitor centers, CVBs & economic development councils to promote their economic growth. This may be focused on tourism (typical in the Hill Country) or other forms of business expansion.

While most area are interested in and support growth, there are some smaller towns that seem to want to "keep things the same", and do not promote area growth. Even Greune's web site tag line says "gently resisting change sine 1872", but this seems to be a marketing theme none-the-less.

Be sure to check out the detailed profile page in this Portal site for each town or county to see their agencies and special web sites (typically tourism oriented) involved in commerce and growth of their area (just click the link on the city/county name).

Here is our convenient contact list for all such agencies in the Texas Hill Country. If a Hill Country city/town is not listed here, it means we have no awareness of them having an agency that focuses on economic development.

For Cities, Counties, Chambers, EDC's and other organizations in Texas but just outside the Texas Hill Country, click: Outside Towns & Chambers

See corresponding list of all city governments in the Texas Hill Country at City Governments,
county governments at County Governments, and state & federal governments at State & Federal.
