Gov. Abbott touted Texas’ historic leadership in the financial services industry at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s new regional campus groundbreaking in Irving

Waco, TX – According to the state officials, Gov. Abbott highlighted how Wells Fargo’s new facility will help expand Texas’ financial services workforce—which is already the largest in the nation—and encourage even more economic growth in North Texas.

The Governor was joined at the groundbreaking by Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer, Wells Fargo President and CEO Charlie Scharf, Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Beth Bowman, and KDC Real Estate Development and Investments CEO Steve Van Amburgh.

During the ceremony, Governor Abbott presented a proclamation to President and CEO Scharf commemorating the new facility and Wells Fargo’s investment in the Irving community and the people of Texas.

The project will create 650 new jobs and $455 million in capital investment for the region. 

A Texas Enterprise Fund grant of just over $5 million has been extended to Wells Fargo.
