Governor Greg Abbott attended the grand opening of Wells Fargo’s new campus in Las Colinas, Irving, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included a panel discussion. The event marked the launch of a major corporate office for Wells Fargo, described as one of the largest real estate investments in the Irving-Las Colinas area in over twenty years.
Abbott addressed the significance of this development for Texas’ economic landscape. “The Texas economy is becoming more diversified to signify our might as a financial capital,” said Governor Abbott. “To make sure it stays that way, the Texas economy focuses not on where we are, but where we are going. We need financial institutions and the ability for all our growing businesses to have access to capital, and that is exactly what Wells Fargo is providing.”
The Governor was joined by Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf, Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer, TV personality Mike Rowe, and other state and local officials.
During the panel discussion, Abbott spoke about how the new campus contributes to Texas’ growth as a financial center and strengthens ties between Wells Fargo and the local community. He emphasized that Texas offers expanding opportunities for both businesses and individuals. The Governor also thanked Wells Fargo for donating to families affected by recent floods in Kerrville.
Additional photographs from the event will be made available when ready.
