City of Cedar Hill Celebrates National Economic Development Week

The City of Cedar Hill designates the week of May 7-12 as “National Economic Development Week” which was created and is coordinated by The International Economic Development Council (IEDC), the largest professional membership organization for economic developers.

Typically, economic development can be described in terms of objectives. IEDC specifically defines economic development as “A set of programs and policies that aid in the creation, retention and expansion of jobs; the development of a stable tax base; and the enhancement of wealth.”

For Cedar Hill, economic development is much more than a process. Commitment from dedicated volunteers ensures partnerships and programs are in place to create and retain jobs that ultimately facilitate economic growth in our community.

Rewind to March 1994: Learn how economic development efforts began in Cedar Hill. 

The Cedar Hill Economic Development Corporation would not exist today without the foresight of many community stakeholders who saw the vision of what Cedar Hill could become,” said Michael Lemmon, Cedar Hill EDC Board President. “This celebration is a time to reflect and honor the countless volunteers who continue working to make Cedar Hill the place that it is today."
