Texas Has the Opportunity
Now We Need the Infrastructure
Texas continues to attract new residents, businesses, and industries. Turning that growth into lasting opportunity requires reliable infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and practical policies that support responsible development.
The Lone Star Infrastructure Coalition (LSIC) is a coalition of industries and groups from across the Texas economy committed to helping Texas meet the need to modernize and expand the state’s infrastructure to meet growing demand.
We work to advance policies that enable infrastructure development, help Texas thrive, support jobs and investment, and strengthen local economies.
