Officials at the TexAmericas Center (TAC), a large mixed-use industrial park in Texarkana, Texas, this week announced they've signed a memorandum of understanding with Texas A&M University-Texarkana that will allow employees of tenant businesses to receive discounted tuition towards classes at the university.

The partnership benefits — which can be used for the spring 2024 semester — include a tuition discount for full-time employees applicable to both degree and nondegree programs, TAC officials said in a press release. More than 1,300 people are employed by TAC tenants.

"This incentive will allow us to attract more business and industry to TexAmericas Center and allow existing business and industry to strengthen their current and future workforce," said TAC President and CEO Scott Norton in a press release.

Seven rail lines converge on the Texarkana region TAC, which offers an on-site rail yard and has more than 30 miles of track running through its properties. TAC Rail services include transloading and rail-car storage.
