Vulcan Materials Company is the nation’s largest producer of construction aggregates, and when Vulcan chose Hondo for its Medina Quarry both the company and the Hondo community reaped substantial advantages in building what is now Vulcan’s largest quarry operation. Vulcan is able to leverage the transportation advantages of a short line rail connecting to Union Pacific Class I service, which is key to a supply chain that ships five million tons of aggregate annually. And Hondo welcomed the opportunity to play a part in an industry critical to construction, in partnership with a company leading in sustainability.

Whatever your operational need—logistical flexibility, market reach, workforce—when your enterprise chooses to locate in Hondo you will also discover a setting that welcomes success and nurtures it, with:

Just 41 miles west of San Antonio, 140 miles from Port of Laredo and 165 miles from Port of Corpus Christi, Hondo’s south-central Texas location puts major markets within easy reach, with the simplified communication benefits of a Central Time Zone location.
Multi-modal logistics include:

• Highway: U.S. Highway 90, I-25, I-10 and I-37.
• Rail: Both UP and BNSF offer Class I access, with Hondo Railway providing quality Class III connections. Transloading ease and speed are assured at the South Texas Intermodal Park, one of only two air-rail intermodal facilities in the state, featuring 85,000’ of heavy-gauge rail and loop track.
• Air: At the South Texas Regional Airport and Industrial Park, a flourishing aerospace cluster is supported by facilities that include four runways offering landing capabilities for various sized aircraft ranging from a small Cessna to a Boeing 737.

In the fast-growing county of Medina and adjacent to rapidly expanding Bexar County, Hondo puts your operation in prime position for workforce and consumer access.

The region’s large labor pool is strengthened by the skills of a larger than average number of veterans: 2,000 service members separating from Joint Base San Antonio monthly, with fully one quarter committed to staying post-separation. Quality is also built in across every level of training and education, including a strong K-12 school system, as well as more than a dozen institutions of higher learning that keep general knowledge levels high. An aligned and responsive workforce development pipeline, with the Southwest Regional Training Center serving as hub, is powered by a robust network of training entities including multiple community colleges and Workforce Solutions-Alamo.

With Hondo’s housing costs just 68% of the national average (and 14% below the state average), residents have room to grow and enjoy Texas-sized satisfaction in a charming small town where schools are excellent and outdoor family recreation is abundant, and with the rich cultural, dining and entertainment amenities of the state’s second largest city nearby.
