Caldwell County

Caldwell County offers many opportunities for growing businesses, including high-speed connectivity, state-of-the-art building inventory and a soon-to-be-completed second industrial park. The county seat, Lockhart, is less than 20 miles from I-35, I-10 and the Austin airport, and the proposed state highway 130 will skirt the city.
