🤝 Economic development is about connections, collaboration and creating opportunities for Wilson County.

At the August 24 Wilson County Commissioners Court meeting, WCEDC President Jason Talley shared an overview of the work happening behind the scenes and an important distinction about the role WCEDC plays in economic development.

So, what does WCEDC do?

We provide information and respond to business prospects, make introductions and connect resources, coordinate site visits and requests for information, connect employers with utilities and workforce resources, and help bring the right people to the table.

And what does WCEDC NOT do?

WCEDC does not set tax rates or approve tax abatements. We do not make zoning or permitting decisions, control private land sales or purchases, choose which companies inquire about Wilson County, or make final decisions for cities, schools, the County or other taxing entities.

Our role is to create connections and opportunities so the people and organizations responsible for those decisions have the resources and relationships they need.

And that work is already underway!

From business prospects and site visits to medical, retail, workforce development and infrastructure initiatives, WCEDC is actively working to connect businesses, jobs, education, resources and opportunities throughout Wilson County.

We are grateful to Wilson County and Commissioners Court for recognizing the importance of this work!

Economic development is a team effort, and we’re proud to be one of the partners working with Wilson County.

⚡ A great day for connection, collaboration and economic development in Wilson County!

Our August 12 Win! with Wilson County meeting in La Vernia was a wonderful success, bringing together local businesses, community leaders and partners from across the county for an informative and productive afternoon.

A special thank you to Aaron Wagner, CEO of FELPS, for joining us as our featured speaker. Aaron shared valuable insight into the important connection between reliable electric infrastructure and economic development, and how utilities, businesses and community partners can work together to help position Wilson County for a strong future.

Following the meeting, attendees also had the opportunity to visit Kayco Spray Booths, a local La Vernia manufacturer, and get a firsthand look at their operation. We love opportunities to learn more about the businesses that are already doing great things right here in Wilson County!

Most of all, it was exciting to see so many people come together, exchange ideas, make connections and learn more about the work happening throughout our county.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, to FELPS for an excellent presentation, to Kayco Spray Booths for welcoming our group, and to Rabel’s Roadhaus BBQ for hosting us.

This is what Win! with Wilson County is all about: bringing people together, building relationships and creating opportunities for Wilson County. 🤝

A big thank you to Charles Eckel of Lyssy & Eckel Feeds for sharing an informative presentation on the New World Screw Worm and the potential impact it could have on Texas agriculture, livestock, wildlife, and producers across our region.

The discussion also highlighted the importance of agriculture to Wilson County’s economy and the potential economic impact challenges like this could have on jobs, producers, and local businesses.
