HISTORY OF THE SACHSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 

In 1994, the citizens of Sachse established the Sachse Economic Development Corporation through a referendum vote.   The SEDC is a non-profit organization created to support companies during their site selection, community evaluation, and business expansion process.

A seven-member Board of Directors supervises the Sachse Economic Development Corporation.  Board Members are volunteers who reside in Sachse and want to strengthen the local tax base and improve the economic environment of the community.  The Mission of the SEDC Board of Directors is to assist in the retention and expansion of business in Sachse. 

Some of SEDC goals are:
> Attract desirable businesses and industries
> Retain and expand existing businesses and industries
> Facilitate President George Bush Tollway
> Initiate and build a town center
> Be a very open and accessible community organization
> Provide city services at low cost to local taxpayer

The Sachse Economic Development Corporation wants to facilitate a local government that is responsive and beneficial to business.  The SEDC is prepared to advance a public-private partnership intended to help Sachse grow and prosper  - a partnership that generates new job opportunities, increased capital investment, and overall community improvement.  SEDC wishes to set forth a foundation for local businesses that builds on the character and quality of life in the community.
