The future of manufacturing starts now — and it’s happening right here in Rockwall!

Students from Dr. Gene Burton College & Career Academy recently stepped out of the classroom and into the real world at IDPTM, Inc gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge CNC equipment and working side-by-side with industry professionals. From design to production, they saw firsthand how ideas become reality.

In today’s economic environment, manufacturing isn’t just important — it’s essential. It powers supply chains, drives innovation, creates high-paying careers, and strengthens our communities. Investing in the next generation of skilled talent ensures we remain competitive, resilient, and ready for what’s next.

Opportunities like this internship don’t just teach skills — they build confidence, spark passion, and shape the workforce of tomorrow.

These future leaders in manufacturing are building an invaluable talent pipeline that will support and strengthen both current and future companies right here in Rockwall.

👀 We know… we know.
You were hoping for the long-awaited return of Grandy’s.

🚧But that dirt moving around at the corner of SH-276 & Corporate Crossing (FM 549) is actually a regional detention pond.

It may not seem as exciting as the next big retail opening, but, projects like this play a big role in Rockwall’s growth. Regional detention helps manage stormwater and provides the infrastructure needed to support current businesses and attract future manufacturing in the Rockwall Technology Park and surrounding area.

In other words: while it may not be retail, it’s an important step that helps make future projects possible.
✅ Construction is already underway
✅ Progress is moving quickly
✅ Completion is coming soon
