About the WCEDP

Serving the Waller County Community Since 2002

The Waller County Economic Development Partnership was incorporated in February of 2002, the result of several years of hard work by various community leaders. We are a Texas non-profit corporation. The primary purpose of the WCEDP is to facilitate positive growth within the Waller County area. This is expressed in our mission statement.

As a Texas non-profit corporation, our services are free. The WCEDP contracts with Waller County to provide economic development services to the community. We foster cooperation within the county by including all communities with an economic development program or that are interested in providing economic development services to their community.

Specifically, the WCEDP works with existing businesses and those wanting to move into the county. Our services range from helping to create business plans to working with prospects moving into the area. As we continue to grow our services will also include support for economic development through GIS, web, and marketing collateral.

The organization is comprised of an appointed board of directors with members representing private member partners, local economic development groups, cities within the county, and Prairie View A&M University. We believe that effective economic development is a partnership between the public and private sectors.
