While many might see the recruitment of corporate headquarters as being a later step in a Hutto’s economic development life cycle, it is easy to illustrate how the Hutto community could be a good match for a corporate headquarters. With increased regional awareness and an abundance of available regional partners, Hutto has an abundance of untapped resources.
Located less than 25 miles from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and less than three hours from three of the top ten national markets, Hutto’s location is the first quality that should be capitalized on. Close proximity to available means of transportation is one of the first qualities that locators seek when speaking about corporate headquarters.
Another sought after quality is affordable and quality housing. While Hutto has an abundance of entry-level housing, there is a shortage of executive level housing available within the city limits. This does not mean that there are not high dollar subdivisions within close driving distance. All amenities that are sought after are within a very close distance to the city limits of Hutto.
Hutto is an attractive and appealing location for corporate headquarters facilities. The availability of large tracts of land; good highway access; and affordable housing all are positive influencing factors in this regard. These conditions combined with a large external community workforce that is leaving the city primarily for office operations positions (69%) make an even stronger case for corporate headquarters type facilities.
