Manor-TX

6 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 6 MANOR , TE XAS Actionable steps are included in the plan to improve quality of life, such as infrastructure, water, wastewater, and the addition of regional employment centers. Building this new ecosystem is important to the city, which is currently working with Workforce Solutions Capital Area, the Texas Workforce Commission, and many employers to create jobs. Targeted employers for the area are industries such as advanced manufacturing, IT, health, the sciences, and higher education. “Even with all the progress, it still holds onto that small town feeling, where neighbors know and support each other, and everyone goes to watch the Friday Night Lights,” says Mayor Harvey. In 2022 the city council took steps to set aside capital for economic development incentives. Before 2022, there wasn’t an economic development department in the city. It was established by the city council under Mayor Harvey’s leadership.
