While I'd consider the energy corridor as the closest source of high-tech to Katy (with a handful of small to large oil/gas/energy operations) I see everything else still more into Houston. I work up and down the Sam Houston toll road, so it's a casual 30-45min commute to work. There are a handful of local industry parks out here with small/medium-sized businesses that will in-house their IT or contract out the work. Amazon built their distribution center just 15min out, but I don't think that houses any IT work, yet.
Being in Katy for 25+ years and seeing it blow up in growth, I'm interested to see how northwest Houston grows (new subdivisions, industry parks, infrastructure, etc.)
- stirfrykitty 8y agoThanks for the reply. Interesting. Sadly, here in The Woodlands area, last year the O&G industries laid off tons of IT people. Loads of people suddenly found themselves with no jobs or working at Home Depot to make ends meet. My own neighborhood had a scary amount of For Sale signs up, so I asked around and learned it was because of the downturn. One of the guys sold forklifts for a living to big companies and he was thinking of getting out of O&G sales altogether. Houston is an interesting place to be sure.
