Located in the heart of Southeast Texas, El Campo has steadily positioned itself as a strategic destination for industrial development and distribution. Its location along U.S. Highway 59 (future I-69) provides direct access to Houston, the Gulf Coast, and major Texas markets, making it attractive for logistics, warehousing, and light manufacturing operations.
Recent years have seen significant investment in industrial parks and shovel-ready sites, with the El Campo Economic Development Corporation actively marketing available land and supporting infrastructure improvements. The city’s proximity to rail lines and the Port of Houston further enhances its appeal for companies seeking regional and international reach.
Industrial vacancy rates in the area remain low, reflecting robust demand and the city’s business-friendly climate. El Campo’s economic development team works closely with site selectors and companies to streamline permitting, utilities,
and site preparation, ensuring projects can move quickly from planning to operation.
Workforce development is a priority, with partnerships between local schools, Wharton County Junior College, and state workforce agencies offering tailored training programs. These initiatives help employers access skilled labor for advanced manufacturing, logistics, and agri-business sectors.
