Prioritizing Infrastructure

Strategically positioned on the growing southwest side of Houston, Fort Bend boasts an integrated infrastructure that easily connects to the rest of Greater Houston.

The county also has three Class I railroads, two airports, and access to a foreign trade zone, two international airports, and two deep water ports. Abundant land and shovel-ready sites have caught the attention of the larger business community demonstrated in exponential commercial growth.
