Texarkana, USA, has been named one of “America’s Most Welcoming Places” by the MakeMyMove platform. The reason has very little to do with geography and everything to do with people. While communities across the country are competing for talent, Texarkana is doing something different. It is creating connection and belonging, and in doing so, it is quietly redefining what economic growth can look like. It has leaned in and welcomed the shift by inviting the nation to take a closer look at a place that has always been full of opportunity and connection.
