Strategic Location

As a certified Film Friendly Community, Hondo has been a picture-perfect setting for multiple movies and television episodes. And as a location for industry, Hondo is also a real star, offering a wealth of assets in diversity, velocity and access that make it a powerful choice for manufacturing, distribution, aviation and commercial enterprise.

Pivotal Proximity and Strategic Access

Hondo puts your operation in a powerful position, just 41 miles west of San Antonio, in a central location between Austin and Port of Laredo, just 165 miles from the Port of Corpus Christi, with aviation giants like Boeing and Lockheed only an hour away.

Transit Hub Speed, Ease and Flexibility

Hondo is the Lone Star state’s low-cost, high-quality logistical hub, offering:

• Highway routes including immediate access to U.S. Highway 90 with nearby access to I-35, I-10 and I-37.
• Class I rail and intermodal/transloading capabilities. Hondo Railway’s short line connects industry to UP and BNSF Class I service; both lines open rapid access to multiple Mexican gateways including Port of Laredo, while providing comprehensive transcontinental coverage west of the Mississippi River. The 176-acre South Texas Intermodal Park offers rapid intermodal/transloading service with 85,000’ of heavy-gauge rail and loop  track, assuring the utmost speed and ease.
• Air service at the South Texas Regional Airport, the region’s largest airport. The airport’s four runways offer landing capabilities for aircraft of all sizes, from small Cessnas to Boeing 737s. The nearby San Antonio International Airport offers nonstop service to 53 cities.

Dynamic Demographics and Strategic Skills Acquisition

Hondo’s location connects your operation with the talents of a large-scale, performance-ready workforce. Strengthened by a young, diverse population, Hondo’s development pipeline is also empowered by Medina County’s 14.8% growth rate and by the high-caliber skills of separating service members from Joint Base San Antonio. Skills alignment is assured by the South Texas Regional Training Center, working as a hub of an educational ecosystem that includes a highly respected community college and a leading R1 university.

The Perfect Recipe for Life:
High Quality Blend of Cultures

Hondo is a great place to enjoy local favorites like the fun-filled South Texas Maze, and to saver San Antonio’s nearby metro amenities, like River Walk and the restaurants and nightlife in a city named a UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Cuisine. This is a region that mixes all kinds of culture—Hispanic, Black, German, cowboy, military culture and more—to serve up a uniquely satisfying quality of life.
