Manufacturing Made to Order in Pflugerville

Pflugerville is a thriving, diverse Central Texas community in one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. Located just 20 minutes northeast of downtown Austin, Pflugerville presents companies looking to move to the region with an incredible opportunity to benefit from the rapidly growing community within the Austin-Round Rock-Metropolitan Statistical Area. The 2020 U.S. Census reported the MSA as the 28th-largest metropolitan area in the country.

Pflugerville is primed for manufacturing companies

The little city with large appeal

Pflugerville offers numerous amenities that manufacturing companies will find appealing, including plenty of land for new and existing businesses. One example is the One Thirty Business Park, a 160-acre property and the first industrial and commercial elevations on SH130 in the Austin region. Today, the park has a $1MM tax base, is home to 20 companies, and employs over 1,400 people.

Utilities are plentiful, thanks to a well-run municipal government, a long-range water supply that is the envy of surrounding communities, and the presence of one of the nation’s largest solar farms, the 144MW Pflugerville Solar Farm. Additionally, Pflugerville’s population is in the sweet spot of not being too large or too small and offers highly desirable demographic rankings, including an educated workforce and affluent consumers who want to work, live, and shop close to home.

It’s all about location

Recruiting new jobs and retaining existing jobs is codependent on the ability to provide adequate infrastructure to move people, goods, and services to major thoroughfares that provide interstate and intrastate access for import and export activities. The City of Pflugerville is centrally located between Interstate 35 to the West and SH130 to the East. Internal access to both highways is primarily through the Pecan Street Corridor, which is intersected by FM685, a north-south route that parallels SH130 between Pecan and Kelly and provides access to the commercial, restaurant, and retail business in the region to include Stone Hill Town Center.

The incentives to move here

Manufacturing companies can apply for business incentives to the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC). Some may even qualify for tax breaks when developing property or creating jobs within the city. In addition, statewide incentives make Texas one of the country’s best places to do business.

The PCDC aims to give business owners easy access to Pflugerville incentives to help them start, grow, or expand their businesses. Some of the applicable incentives include Triple Freeport Exemption, Texas Capital Fund, Chapter 380 Financing, and Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
