Target Industries

TARGET INDUSTRIES

The Sanger EDC is focused on attracting and supporting businesses in four key industries identified through the Sanger EDC Strategic Plan. These industries align with Sanger's existing assets, location, workforce, and opportunities for future economic growth.

Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Services

Sanger offers a strong foundation for advanced manufacturing and industrial services, supported by strong prime-age workforce participation and proximity to North Texas manufacturing markets. Available industrial land provides opportunities for business expansion and new investment, while alignment with career and technical education (CTE) and skilled-trades pathways helps support the workforce needs of growing employers.

Construction & Building Systems

Sanger is well positioned to serve the continued demand for construction and building-related businesses throughout the rapidly growing North Texas region. Strong labor force participation, proximity to expanding housing markets, and an established presence of local and regional contractors create opportunities for companies involved in construction, building systems, material, and related services. Workforce apprenticeship models further support the development of skilled talent.

Tech-Enabled Logistics & Supply Chain Services

Sanger's strategic location along the I-35 corridor provides a strong platform for logistics and supply chain businesses. An existing distribution and logistics presence, combined with access to regional transportation networks, creates opportunities for companies utilizing technology and automation to improve logistics operations. Sanger's workforce also provides a foundation for operations, supervisor, and technology-enabled logistics roles.

Applied Health & Health Care

Sanger has opportunities to expand its health care and applied health sector in response to unmet local health care demand and continued regional growth. Its proximity to the University of North Texas and the broader Denton research ecosystem provides connections to education, research, and talent, while access to the larger North Texas health care market creates opportunities for health care providers and related businesses. Demographic trends also support long-term growth in health care services.
