Texas A&M University- Texarkana has announced a new partnership with ARTX REDI (Regional Economic Development Inc.) that will not only benefit AR-TX REDI employees, but also the employees of the companies they recruit as well as individuals who relocate to Texarkana as a part of the REDI…Set… Move initiative.
AR-TX REDI is a non-profit group born from a unified vision for the future of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas. The organization is committed to helping businesses connect with economic development opportunities throughout the entire Texarkana region.

“This agreement with Texas A&M University-Texarkana is a powerful example of how our region invests in people,” said Rob Sitterly, President and CEO of ARTX REDI. “By offering the companies we recruit and REDI…Set…Movers a tuition reduction and their first class free, we are removing barriers to higher education and strengthening our talent pipeline. The partnership underscores our commitment to attracting new residents and businesses while ensuring they have access to the resources they need to succeed in Texarkana.”
