Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the City of Rockwall has been designated by the Texas Music Office (TMO) as a Music Friendly Texas Certified Community after completing the multi-step certification process. The Music Friendly Texas program, the first in the nation since introduced by TMO in 2016, seeks to foster music business-related economic development and job creation in Texas cities and communities.
"Congratulations to the City of Rockwall on earning the Music Friendly Texas Certified Community designation," said Governor Abbott. "Music is key to the Texas brand and is deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of our great state. Music Friendly Texas Communities certified by the Texas Music Office work tirelessly to attract and develop the local music industry to boost local job creation and economic growth. In fact, with support from the Texas Music Office, the Texas music industry accounts for more than 192,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs and generates more than $26 billion in annual economic activity statewide. Together, we will continue to work alongside communities in every region of our state to amplify their growth and success."
"Rockwall is a closely knit community that values family-oriented activities, local traditions, and a strong sense of civic pride," said Senator Bob Hall. "Being named a Music Friendly Texas Certified Community highlights its vibrant cultural spirit and dedication to nurturing local talent. This achievement not only celebrates the city's rich musical heritage but also enhances its role as a center for community engagement and economic growth. As the 'Free Live Music Capital of North Texas,' Rockwall is poised to make an even greater impact on the Texas music scene."
"As a native Texan, State Representative, and passionate musician myself, I am proud to see Rockwall now recognized as a Music Friendly Texas Certified Community," said State Representative Justin Holland. "This designation reflects our city's vibrant cultural spirit and the unity fostered through music. From our annual Founders' Day celebration to the Harbor's free live event series, Rockwall continues to create unforgettable experiences, bringing people together in harmony. This is a milestone that honors our musical heritage and strengthens our community."
