Governor Greg Abbott today announced the results of a study completed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at the request of the Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC) analyzing the impact on the state’s economy of the U.S. military installations within Texas.
The comptroller estimates these military installations contributed at least $114.1 billion to the Texas economy in 2021 and supported more than 622,790 jobs in communities across the state.
“Texas is the proud home to 15 military installations and the U.S. Army Futures Command,” said Abbott. “Not only are these military installations critical for the defense of our nation, they support more than 622,790 jobs in communities across this great state.
