I have a small lawn care and landscaping business. I've been wanting to expand with my business, PA is just not doing any deeds for me.

Killeen, everything revolves around Fort Hood.
One thing you could try to get is score the contract that cuts grass on post but that would be difficult. Killeen is setting at over 100,000 people right now and it is also about to get a new college campus. Texas A&M - Central Texas is being built in southern Killeen. So there is a lot of growth here, I think project growth by 2019 is like 250,000 people which is pretty big. The thing you have working towards you is that soldier often hire landscapers because they simply rather not spend there valuable free time mowing lawns.
Why Killeen btw?

Killeen is the last place i'd want to move to in TX. Try Austin or SA or Houston

Well, i'm not into big cities cause thats where most landscapers/lawn care guys are. I live in the Lehigh Valley and their are dozens and dozens of lawn care guys out in force. Even though I do have one big contract, its just not enough. So i'm looking for a small town but yet dense populated. Plus, I also hate the cold.

True. My friend who came to visit family for the Holidays, he told me he could help me out with getting properties. Since he's in the army and is based in Ft. Hood, he mentioned that there are alot of service men not wanting to mow there grass and landscape on base. I most likely can gross out more than what i'm making now.
