The Temple Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) is governed by a fifteen-member Board of Directors that are appointed by Temple City Council. Directors commit to serve a three-year term with no term limit. The current TEDC Board of Directors include:
Temple Economic Development is proud to have earned the distinguished title, Accredited Economic Development Organization (AEDO) from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC)
BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
The Temple Economic Development Corporation continues to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our community. As chairman of the board of Directors for TEDC, I have seen first-hand the impact this organization has had on this community and region. As we review our fiscal year Oct. 1, 2017 – Sept. 30, 2018, there are many positives to report.
This past year, TEDC continued to bring investment into the community. This investment not only came from economic incentives from TEDC, but also from working with prospects and current businesses to build and grow in Temple. We provide data to businesses that help them make informed decisions. We work with employers and educators to help maintain and grow our workforce. We work with our partners to promote Temple and the region.
The fiscal year also brought about a great deal of transition for our organization. We moved into the newly completed Santa Fe Business Center. The Santa Fe Business Center along with the Santa Fe Plaza and TISD administration building will no doubt be a major catalyst for the future growth of downtown Temple and our community as a whole. In addition to the building project and move, TEDC had a major leadership transition. Our past President/CEO, David Blackburn, left TEDC to become the Bell County Judge. After an eight-month national search, the TEDC board approved the hiring of Adrian Cannady as our new President/CEO.
Cooperation and collaboration are a huge part of what makes our community successful. TEDC will continue to focus on recruiting new businesses, retaining current businesses, developing a strong workforce, and marketing our community. On behalf of the board of directors of TEDC, I would like to thank the community for its continued support.
