On behalf of the City of Willis Economic Development Corporation it is my pleasure to welcome you to the thriving community of Willis Texas. Long on rich history and poised for an exciting future, Willis is strategically located commercially, educationally, recreationally and for affordability.

Willis is 200 N. Bell Street
known for its great schools in Willis ISD, one of the largest and finest community colleges in the nation in Lone
Willis, Texas 77378
Star College, and is just minutes away from highly ranked Sam Houston State University.

The service area population of Willis has increased by 73% since 2000 and with several new master planned communities adding thousands of quality homes the opportunities in the region is bright. The city of Willis is a rapidly developing commercial center for retail and industrial enterprises and the Willis EDC is ready to help any business looking to locate or expand. A wide range of services and support are available to help growing businesses from startups to corporate relocations. A growing and educated workforce, affordable land, quick access to major markets on I 45 and a business supportive environment all make Willis Texas the place for you and your business.
