Just 20 miles from downtown Austin, Elgin is in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. It has the infrastructure and people to offer the business support that comes with that growth. But the city is committed to maintaining its unique character as a Texas Main Street City, Sausage Capital of Texas and Brick Capital of the Southwest. With a focus on the future, while building on the past, Elgin is the best place to grow a business and a family!
