Texans - what the heck is happening in Grapevine?

[mota bhai 2,675]

I am literally seeing dozens of job postings in Grapevine every day. What's going on over there? It can't be oil, nowhere near Houston, or is that a misconception?

Misconception. Dozens of Engineering jobs, contractors, etc and everything all over Texas lately, especially in the smaller towns.

I see a lot of Texas but there's an unusually large concentration in Grapevine.

dallas suburb.

Well, I'm not in a position to capitalize on it, but if anyone owns or can buy land near the natural gas fields, I hear the big companies are paying up to $10,000 a month to put a pumping station on your property. One lady recently allowed a pipeline to cross a corner of her land, and she gets $800 a month.

I know Verizon has a big place out there. Also, the airport is right there.

Amazon and WalMart (and 2 other companies) have major distribution points there. Also is either headquarters or huge logistics point office for many of the fortune 500

and, as well,

all of the Texas-based companies that service these companies with stuff.

and

it's company friendly city, special deal made with the DFW airport.

-600 points to you today, O Arajit, for not doing any corporate demogaphic research.

Why do research when I can tap the collective wisdom of a forum full of in-the-know Texans?

lack of tools and lack of using tools is bad, Arajit.

what, you expect me to think you are lazy or something else untoward?

[mota bhai 2,675]

Yes.

Technically incorrect. The bold words COULD go a long way towards reducing the numbers on welfare.
