About Us
Who We Are
The Edinburg Economic Development Corporation (Edinburg EDC) is dedicated to making Edinburg a competitive, thriving city for business investment. We connect businesses with the resources, infrastructure, and relationships they need to get started and keep growing. Edinburg EDC is a Type A Economic Development Corporation, funded by a portion of local sales tax. Our core focus is primary job creation, supporting industries that bring new investment into the community through manufacturing, distribution, technology, healthcare, and more. We also invest in the quality of life that makes Edinburg a place people want to call home. Strong communities and strong economies go hand in hand, and we are committed to both.
