The City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) – in partnership with the City and area counties – celebrates Economic Development Week from May 9-13. Economic Development Week was established by the International Economic Development Council to increase awareness for local programs that create jobs, advance career development opportunities, and increase the quality of life of communities. Within the City of Schertz, economic development efforts are led by the SEDC, a non-profit industrial development corporation that was established by Schertz residents in 1998. The mission of the SEDC is to grow the Schertz economy through projects. Specifically, projects that focus on the creation/retention of primary jobs and infrastructure improvements. This is exampled through street improvement efforts in Tri County Industrial Park and the participation in regional job fairs and round tables that foster open dialogue, identify challenges, promote information sharing, and allow primary job employers to share best practices.
