Bell County is situated for success based on its prime location between Interstates 35 and 14, two major thoroughfares for traffic and distribution. The county continues to see unprecedented capital investment as the local economy continues to experience steady job growth. The lure of the I-35 corridor, Ft. Hood, and low cost of living makes the area attractive to companies considering relocation.

Bell County is centrally located within 180 miles of the southwest U.S. marketplace and has a population of 19 million. The county's economic stability is based on a diverse economic base in five key areas: Manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics, Health and Life Sciences, Aviation and Maintenance Repair Operations, and Security and Intelligence.
