National awareness of America’s reliance on non-renewable
energy sources and foreign oil has been heightened by global and national
events. The green industries in
the greater San Marcos region are relatively small, but growing with abundant
opportunities.
Green industries in the region are an untapped source of
potential for job growth and economic diversification. The business recruitment
of PrimeForm, a company in the green industry, has managed to create 22 jobs to
date.
The Hays County recycling program is beginning to see some
profit and currently reaches around 78,500 county residents. This excludes the City of San Marcos, which has its own Go Green program underway.
