New AW Texas company on IH 10 being called "new frontier of the South Central Texas region" By Cindy AguirreHerrera

(Cibolo) -- The door destined to trigger growth and development on Guadalupe County's west end along Interstate 10 has been blown wide open and elected officials can't help but prepare for what is next. Representatives from AW Texas, alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott, city of Cibolo elected officials and partners officially broke ground Monday morning on the AW Texas 159 acre automatic transmission plant in Cibolo. AW Texas is a subsidiary of Japan's Aisin AW Co. and a leading manufacturer of transmissions around the world. The plant, announced earlier this fall, will be the third United States’ transmission plant for the Aisin Group. The plant will bring approximately 900 new jobs to the area over the next five years. Judy Cope, Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 4, says the county couldn't be happier about being home to this new $400 million high-tech manufacturing plant. The plant, which lies in Cope's precinct, will be built immediately off of Interstate 10,

right next door to the San Antonio Raceway located on Santa Clara Road in Marion. "I think that the west end, of course, has always been one of the fastest growing parts of the county. However, they are pretty much grown to their limits so it's going to have to come our way and this is the beginning right here of I think a big industrial break through that we'll be seeing all throughout the county -- new jobs, better wages -- something that is not going to come and go -- that we will have here for years and years to come so our kids and grandkids can stay right here if they want to and be close to family and that's always been one of my goals when I ran for office was to make sure that our kids and grandkids could stay close to their families and have the means to do it. So, I think this is wonderful. Of course, I always would rather not lose the farmland but it's being put to good use so we really are encouraged by this," said Cope. See NEW FRONTIER, page 2
