Exciting news for Van Alstyne! The EDC Board and City Council have approved the sale of 9 acres in Cold Springs Industrial Park to Advanced Process Solutions (APS), marking a major win for the community. The Blue Ridge-based company is set to expand into Van Alstyne with a 100,000 square foot industrial facility, bringing up to 175 jobs over the next five years at a median salary exceeding $70,000 — plus a $40 million investment in the project.

Groundbreaking is targeted for late summer, with a grand opening planned for early 2027. APS — a trusted supplier to Texas Instruments and Globalwafers — chose Van Alstyne for its strategic proximity to Sherman and access to a skilled workforce. The company specializes in industrial-grade automation, plastic fabrication, and field service and maintenance. More updates to come!
