Austin, TX Governor Greg Abbott announced today that Port Aransas has been designated a music-friendly community by the Texas Music Office (TMO) after completing the multi-tier certification process. The Music Friendly Community program aims to promote the economic development of the music business in Texan cities and towns.
“With support from the Texas Music Office, the Texas music industry created more than 210,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs in communities across the Lone Star State in 2019 and generated $ 27.3 billion in economic activity,” said Governor Abbott. “Music Friendly Communities, certified by the Texas Music Office, are seriously interested in attracting and developing the local music industry to fuel job creation and economic growth. I congratulate Port Aransas on being recognized as a Music Friendly Community and look forward to building on their continued success. “
“Congratulations to the Port Aransas community on this well-deserved award,” said Senator Lois Kolkhorst. “It is an honor, along with Governor Abbott and the Texas Music Office, to recognize Port Aransas as a thriving Texas Music Friendly Community.”
