Community Profile

Jacksonville is a growing town in North East Texas. Currently home to 15,000 residents, Jacksonville boasts a luscious, rural landscape in the heart of the Piney Woods. Residents enjoy small-town living with close proximity to big-city shopping and dining.

Located on three major Texas highways, Jacksonville is a “hub” for transportation, offering a short drive to Dallas, Shreveport, and Houston. Tyler is also located within a comfortable, 30-minute drive.

Business Climate

Because you are known by the company you keep (and for cities, by the companies they keep), be assured that Jacksonville has a great reputation!  Its small-town atmosphere is enhanced by the big-business attitude of its industry.  And Jacksonville is recognized for its technologically advanced, industry leading employers.

Diversity of skills, services and an experienced workforce have proven that Jacksonville is the optimum environment for manufacturers, where an incredible variety of value-added products roll off the lines every day.  From medical and surgical supplies, custom molded electric signs and lithographic plates, to plastics and injection molds, air conditioning, coils and brass plated products, the list continues to grow.  These Jacksonville businesses succeed in part because of a commitment to total quality by every employee.

East Texans’ historically strong work ethic and their desire to “be the best,” have helped local companies to post record production levels in recent years.  At the same time, wages and benefits have remained stable in the area, helping businesses better plan for future growth.
