The ITTC by the Allen Group promises 700 acres of rail linked industrial space, Foreign Trade Zone use, and 2000 to 3000 new jobs with over $60 million in annual salaries over a decade. The county’s low land costs, skilled workforce, and central location are cited as drivers of rapid growth, with population projected from 628,218 in 1997 to 958,300 by 2010.
