Rene Dominguez, the City’s director of economic development, has been named chief operating officer and president of the Texas Research & Technology Foundation, according to a Friday press release.
In his nine years at the helm of the City’s economic development department, Dominguez oversaw tax break agreements with companies such as Hulu, USAA, and Credit Human Federal Credit Union.
In February, Dominguez helped secure an economic incentive deal for his future employer. The Texas Research & Technology Foundation (TRTF) can receive millions in economic incentive dollars as the organization builds a 110,000-square-foot complex in the former Merchants Ice Building at 1305 E. Houston Street, thanks to a deal reached with the City.
