Fort Bend County Witnesses Economic Surge with Doubling of Businesses and Population Growth

Fort Bend County has been surging with economic vitality, nearly doubling its business count in a decade — from over 8,000 to close to 15,000. While economic expansion often brings to mind gleaming high-rises or bustling retail hubs, the growth narrative of Fort Bend is more complex than a conventional boom story. It’s about accessibility to skilled labor, diverse communities, and a climb to over 890,000 residents, making it one of the nation’s melting pots, according to a report by CW39.
