Local government and private enterprise both invest in the economic growth of their communities, and the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) serves as just one of countless examples throughout the country.

As a public-private non-profit organization, the GSMP relies on financial investment from both the public and private sector to ensure our mission to strengthen the local economy and for the betterment of the economic situation of our residents. The return on that investment has been significant, with GSMP helping to secure more than 40 new companies and 6,500 direct new jobs for the region since 2009, resulting in an annual economic boost of more than $2 billion for our region.
