Testimonials
Robert T. Berry, SIOR
Executive Vice President, Industrial
Jones Lang LaSalle Americas Brokerage
“I have worked closely with the Katy Area Economic Development Council over the past two years on several development and user projects. In my opinion, their professionalism, experience, knowledge and access to instantaneous, quality information is second to none. These attributes have enabled them to become one of top economic development organizations in the Greater Houston area. These qualities also helped the Katy Area EDC land the 1,000,000 sq. ft., $30,000,000, Rooms to Go Distribution Center, in which Jones Lang LaSalle managed the site selection process.”
“Katy is a great place for plastics manufacturing and distribution. The strengths for doing business here include access to an available and large world-class workforce, a great transportation system, low cost of living, and an excellent quality of life.”

“We have been seeing a site to build a distribution center over the past year to support our new stores opening in Houston, as well as our stores in San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding states. Recently, we closed on the 118 acre tract and look forward to beginning construction in the spring of 2008. The facility will become operational in the fourth quarter of 2009. We feel confident that this site will satisfy our needs in several respects.” Jeff Seaman Seaman credited The Staubach Company, Waller County, the State of Texas and the Katy Area EDC for their help in identifying a suitable site and providing technical assistance, support and incentives that were important factors in the decision.
