The Seguin Economic Development Corp. was recognized for its achievements in bringing Continental Structural Plastics and United Alloy Inc to the Rio Nogales Industrial Park in Seguin.
According to a release by the Seguin Economic Development Corp., the Texas Economic Development Council honored the agency with a 2020 Community Economic Development Award for its success.
“We’re super excited about [this recognition],” Seguin EDC Executive Director Josh Schneuker said. “There was a lot of hard work that went into these two projects, and we were at one point working simultaneously trying to finalize the deal with Continental Structural Plastics and around the same time, we started working on the United Alloy deal and trying to put that together and make it a reality. So, it’s nice to be recognized for the hard work.”
The two companies will create more than 300 local jobs with average salaries that exceed more than $50,000, Schneuker said.
