PASSEDHouston City Council · 2025-11-05

The city council is considering a resolution to nominate Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC — a manufacturing company at 8360 Market St. — for the Texas Enterprise Zone Program, a state program that offers sales tax refunds to businesses that invest and create or retain jobs in economically disadvantaged areas.

What it means for you

If approved, the nomination sends Owens Corning's application to the state for review; the state — not the city — would ultimately decide whether to grant the company up to $1,250,000 in sales tax refunds over five years tied to a planned $39 million investment and the creation of 75 jobs and retention of 110 jobs at the Market Street facility.
