We were proud to receive an award for reaching Maintained Period 3 on our ACT Work Ready Community goals during the ACT Workforce Summit in Atlanta, Georgia last week. ACT Work Ready Communities (WRC) empower states, regions, and counties with data, processes, and tools that drive economic growth. Participants leverage the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) to measure and close the skills gap and build common frameworks that link, align, and match their workforce development efforts. #EconomicDevelopment #LongviewTX #Workforce

What better way to celebrate Manufacturing Week in Texas than with a behind-the-scenes look at one of our state's finest manufacturing facilities. Thanks to our mighty manufacturers, Texas has remained the #1 exporting state in the nation for the last 22 consecutive years—and counting! Today we kicked off our Company Leader Big Techs tour series with a tour of AAON Inc.'s Longview facilities. To say that AAON has thrived in Longview would be an understatement and it is incredible to watch them continue to grow and dream big for their company and their family of employees. The Company Leader Big Techs tour series is designed to provide local company leaders who are unable to attend the Big Techs tours in February due to facilitating tours at their own facility the chance to take a look at what their neighbors around town are up to. It also helps them facilitate relationships and meaningful conversations to help generate an overall well-connected network of industry partners in Longview. Thank you to AAON for starting us off on the right foot and always being an upstanding community partner. #EconomicDevelopment #longviewtx #industry #madeintexas #manufacturingweektexas

If you didn't have a chance to catch it live this morning, check out today's segment of KTBS 3 News' Community Caravan series featuring RHE HATCO, one of Longview's most fascinating industry partners! Most people don't know that a large portion of the hats worn by law enforcement and military personnel across the country originated right here in Longview. Not only that, but the same hats that appear in some of America's most viewed television shows were also formed by the hardworking hands of the folks at HATCO Longview. Now that's something to hang your hat on! https://lnkd.in/gXZbT6Mk
