Decatur EDC Working to achieve sustained economic growth for the City of Decatur through increased employment op

The Decatur Economic Development Corporation was formed in 1993. Funds received by DEDC are used to promote the economic growth of Decatur and give the Corporation flexibility to assist companies with infrastructure, training and other items of importance. In 1997, a voter approved referendum also allows funds to be used for the capital and operation needs of the Decatur Civic Center and for infra

structure, building and equipment needs on public land. Decatur offers a pro-active and progressive city government with an extremely positive attitude concerning the future growth and expansion of the Decatur area. The City of Decatur, Wise County and the DEDC work closely together to provide business and industry attractive incentives to grow and expand if already in the city or for business and industry considering an expansion or relocation to a new community. The city of Decatur, Wise County, the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, Main Street, existing business and industry and the DEDC continues to try to preserve the charm, character, uniqueness and appeal of Decatur while maintaining a progressive, urban atmosphere where any business or industry can thrive and grow.

We were honored to welcome Cora to this month’s DEDC board meeting to share the story behind her beautiful artwork!

Her creativity, confidence, and courage to stand up and speak in front of the board were truly impressive, and she did a wonderful job. We are proud to have her artwork displayed in our office for the next year as a reminder of the incredible talent within Decatur ISD.

We also want to thank Decatur ISD for the strong partnerships they continue to build with businesses and organizations throughout our community. Opportunities like this make Decatur such a special place to live, learn, and grow.
