Welcome
to Our City
ELGIN, TEXAS
Rich in Heritage, Progressive in Spirit
Just
30 minutes away from the center of Austin's Business District
and 25 minutes away from Austin-Bergstrom International
Airport, Elgin is a thriving participant in Central Texas'
growing economic market. Situated at the interconnection
of US Hwy 290 and Texas Hwy 95, the City has excellent
transit corridors for regional commerce. With these intersecting
highways, as well as two rail lines, Elgin offers excellent
trans-portation alternatives in today’s growing
markets.
Long
recognized for its Sausage and Bricks, Elgin Texas proudly
bears the twin titles of the “Sausage Capital of
Texas”
and the “Brick
|
 |
Capital
of the Southwest.” But
today, Elgin is known for much more than these two industries
which have been for decades, and remain
today, solid economic foundations for the
community.Today
Elgin is a city on the move, rich in heritage, progressive
in spirit, and optimistic of its future. Returning to its
roots, Elgin has taken hold of the two intersecting rail
lines that cross in the very heart of its historic downtown
and is moving to capitalize on these
existing assets. These two intersecting rails, one running
east-west and the other north-south will once again form
the synergies of growth and prosperity. |
