If they really wanted to attract business or commerce development....first, work on your state/local property taxes (since it’s Texas, you can skip that step). Second, you offer up 99-year leases on property for development at a dirt-cheap rate. Third, you gear up your local community college to offer technology or occupational skills and recruit high school kids to make this their path. Fourth, you ensure crime and corruption stay at a low level.
Once you do these things...then you go and recruit companies to make your area their base.
And you make sure that the businesses you’re attracting aren’t radical, liberal, hipster, tech companies that champion the working man, yet demand special tax breaks, then flood your “Pleasant Conservative” place in the world with said, radical, liberal, hipsters, who turn the place into a radical, liberal, hipster hub, IE Austin, Tx, etc.
