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 />
