“Texas continues to set new records for total jobs, with more Texans working now than any point in our history,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “By supporting the construction of a business incubation center, this grant to The University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley will help provide South Texas businesses with essential training and resources and create jobs for hardworking Texans. Working together, we will continue to build an even stronger Texas workforce.”

“This month and every month, Texas stands with survivors of sexual assault and will work to bring justice and support for victims of this heinous crime,” said Governor Abbott. “Survivors who share their experiences deserve our gratitude, as do law enforcement officials, the judicial system, and advocacy organizations such as the Governor’s Sexual Assault Survivors’ Task Force—all of which work to protect the lives and dignity of their fellow Texans. I encourage all Texans this month to join us in our ongoing fight to prevent sexual assault in our state. By continuing to advocate for survivors and increase public awareness about sexual assault, we are fostering a society in which these atrocities have no place to build a better Texas for all.”

“We are proud to invest in the next generation of hardworking Texans to further expand the Texas economy,” said Governor Abbott. “This job training grant will provide Rockport Fulton ISD students with the skills they need to succeed in their careers as welders and thrive in our great state. I thank the Texas Workforce Commission for supporting not only the future of these students, but the future of all Texans. Together, we will help build a robust workforce as we continue to create a bigger, better Texas."

“The mighty Texas economy continues to expand faster than the nation,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “The infrastructure improvements that will be made possible by the EDA’s grant to the Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority will help the Texas economy continue to thrive by supporting local business growth and creating good-paying jobs for hardworking Texans. I look forward to seeing more groundbreaking innovation in Lubbock and across our great state as we continue to build a brighter economic future for all Texans.”

“Texas is proud to invest in our current and future workforce as our economy continues to lead the nation,” said Governor Abbott. “This grant to Northeast Texas Community College will help equip hardworking Texans with the skills they need to succeed in critical industries such as manufacturing and ensure North Texas has the talent needed to thrive. I thank the Texas Workforce Commission and Northeast Texas Community College for partnering together to invest in our highly skilled workforce as we continue to build an even bigger, better Texas.”
