Economic Development Corp. leaders look to expand business and technology park in Marble Falls

MARBLE FALLS — Officials hope to breathe new life into the Marble Falls Business & Technology Park by opening up additional acreage for use by prospective companies.

The 297.16-acre park, which is owned by the Economic Development Corp., is north of the city on U.S. 281.

Only 80 acres are developed with eight businesses, but officials want to extend a road into another 80 acres to attract more companies — including manufacturers.
