OUR HISTORY

COMMITTED TO A SUCCESSFUL AMARILLO

The Amarillo EDC was formed as a 501(c)6 corporation in 1989 using sales tax dollars toward economic development. The Amarillo EDC is a Type A corporation investing in industrial development projects receiving 51% or more annual revenue from outside of the five-county MSA (metropolitan statistical area). We strive to attract new businesses to the area, but we also believe in supporting our existing local businesses. The Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program is designed to strengthen the connection between companies and the community while encouraging each business to continue to grow. In its 32 years of operation, Amarillo EDC has funded 130 companies resulting in more than $3 billion in capital expenditure.
