Texas Wide Open for Business Website<br />

In FY <strong>2011</strong>, the marketing team continued to<br />

upgrade the content on the Texas Wide Open<br />

for Business website. Upgrades make the site<br />

more intuitive for site selectors, companies, and<br />

communities seeking business data. The website<br />

provides information and links needed for anyone<br />

considering doing business in Texas. The site<br />

includes state incentives, Texas achievements,<br />

new company location announcements, marketing<br />

resources for Texas community economic<br />

developers, and an interactive map that allows<br />

users to explore various infrastructure resources<br />

to narrow site searches.<br />

On January 1, 2012, the Texas Wide Open for<br />

Business website will launch a major redesign<br />

to help address needs that have been identified<br />

through feedback from companies and consultants<br />

throughout the year.<br />

The <strong>TexasOne</strong>℠ website will also launch a redesign<br />

in 2012, showcasing the benefits of <strong>TexasOne</strong>℠<br />

membership and providing members with<br />

essential resources.<br />

Texas Site Search<br />

www.texassitesearch.com<br />

The Texas Site Search website is an innovative<br />

online state-level GIS mapping program designed<br />

to aid companies and consultants researching<br />

Texas as a possible expansion or relocation site.<br />

The site is a free service to Texas communities<br />

looking to gain more exposure through property<br />

listings and is an additional online portal for<br />

communities already hosting localized GIS-based<br />

services.<br />

Website tools include detailed available property<br />

listings, custom downloadable reports, links to<br />

local economic development sites, state incentive<br />

programs, and industry maps.<br />

The <strong>TexasOne</strong>℠ Twitter and Texas Wide Open for Business Facebook pages allow followers to<br />

gather up-to-date information on the Texas economy. In FY 2012, the marketing team will continue<br />

to distribute news items to constituents through online social networks. Updates include Texas<br />

brags, job creation announcements, and TEF and ETF award announcements.<br />
