Plano, TX — Simpson Strong-Tie Co. and the City of Plano have partnered to bring a new headquarters to the city, promising a $5.3 million economic boost and 165 new jobs. The firm finalized the deal using a Texas economic development program facing threats under SB 879.
The Details:
Investment: Simpson Strong-Tie will invest $5.3M in renovations, completing the HQ by December 2025. Founded in 1956, Simpson Strong-Tie builds structural connectors, with 12 U.S. facilities.
Jobs: 165 new roles by 2029, spanning engineering, manufacturing, and admin positions.
Partnership: Plano City Council approved an $800,000 incentive under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 380.
The Catch: SB 878, advancing in the Senate, could limit local communities’ ability to create partnerships like this one.
Why It Matters: Simpson Strong-Tie’s HQ strengthens Plano’s status as a corporate hub, but progress could slow with new legislation.
