The Village at the Forum currently has Camino Ranch, an upscale Tex-Mex and steakhouse, and Bassett Furniture Direct as their tenants. In 2007, Ethan Allen Furniture opened, with additional businesses opening in 2008. Citibank began banking operations in 2007 as well.

The traveling public is served by the 300-room Holiday Inn that opened in early 2007, with several more hotels being planned for the future.

Retama Park, a Class A horse racing facility, hosts quarter horse and thoroughbred racing from April through October of each year. Retama also has simulcast races from tracks throughout the United States on a daily basis.

Selma’s two current industrial parks host such notables as Bob White and Schwerman Trucking, Munter Dry Cool, Tex Star, Spaw Glass, Sunshine Nut, Green Tweed and Alamo Crane. Two major car dealerships, Gillman Honda and Mitsubishi, along with Cavender Saturn, also provide a business friendly atmosphere in Selma.

Subdivisions abound, with Forrest Creek, Chelsea Crossing, Retama Ridge, Selma Park Estates and the two new developments by Centex Homes—one off of Lookout Road and the other just off of FM 1518.

The Retreat at Chelsea Park, an upscale apartment complex, opened in 2007.

Selma will not be without a memory of its past. A grant from the Texas Department of Transportation, along with money from the City, is being used to renovate the historic stagecoach stop and construct a visitor center, which will serve as an information and welcoming center for visitors coming not only to the Metrocom, but the San Antonio area as well.
