Alamo Area Growth Summit

The San Antonio Business Journal will host the 2016 Alamo Area Growth Summit. Join us as we discuss growth and success in the Mexican-American Capital.

Texas cities have been identified by researchers at the Center for Opportunity Urbanism as ‘America’s Next Boom Towns.’ The Texas Business Journals will partner with the center to conduct and share new research on the growing economic vitality of Texas. The program will build on the center’s recent national study which identified the cities most likely to boom in the next decade, analyzing the 51 largest MSAs in the country across 8 metrics indicative of past, present and future vitality. All 4 Texas’ major metro areas made the top ten and each enjoyed double digit growth from 2010-2014 - beating the national average of 8.1% San Antonio’s research has shown that:

• San Antonio is proving to be the big Mexican-American success story.
• Long a laggard SA is achieving growth in demographic and economic terms in ways equal to other big Texas cities
• A diversifying economy is emerging that is not as dependent on military and tourism, but builds on it
• Young people now see SA as an opportunity city
