Our City's Vision: Schertz strives to develop as a premier Texas community that promotes a family atmosphere, is sustained by foresight and innovation, and continues a long-standing commitment to economic prosperity and workforce opportunities.
As a relatively young community with forward-looking city leadership and management, Schertz has the unique opportunity to set its direction and shape its future. Aggressive economic development initiatives and a proactive approach to growth management sets the community on the path to become a premier Texas community. Partly fueled by San Antonio's tremendous growth and its strategic location along the IH 35 and IH 10 corridors, the City of Schertz seeks to create a welcoming and open place to conduct business. Schertz's economic prosperity is partly attributable to its diverse economic base and this business-friendly climate, but its residents help give the community its notable character. Nearly one third of the civilian adult population in Schertz is a veteran, and the city enjoys a close relationship with Randolph Air Force Base, which is immediately located outside the city limits. In addition, a highly educated and relatively young workforce helps ensure that Schertz will continue to possess the talents and skills needed to help companies and families grow and prosper into the 21st century. The city offers various parks, recreational facilities, shopping and cultural amenities. Hundreds more of entertainment options are within an hour’s drive of the city.
