Please join the CEDC this week as we celebrate economic development and bring awareness to the functions of the board and staff. The Economic Development Corporation serves the community in a number of ways including;

- New business attraction
- Increasing sales tax
- Business retention
- Community development
- Marketing

Each day this week, we will spotlight how the EDC Board (Kyle Rose, Mindy Koehne, Carmen Roberts, Jay Pierce and Clint Bissett) and the staff members are helping to grow the commercial businesses and job base for the City. We also have a past board member, Susan Owens, who will be talking about her experience on the board and the growth she's witnessed since living in Celina.
