The Celina Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to advancing long-term economic vitality for the community. Governed by a seven-member Board of Directors appointed by the Celina City Council, CEDC has supported Celina’s growth since 1979 through a dedicated half-cent local sales tax for economic development.
The mission of CEDC is simple yet powerful – to achieve economic excellence by fostering a vibrant business ecosystem that enhances the local tax base.
Our vision is to shape Celina's economic future as the premier destination for investment, innovation, and talent, where businesses flourish, community is embraced, visitors are welcome, and residents experience an unmatched quality of life.
Where the Texas Promise Meets Opportunity
In Celina, growth is intentional, forward-thinking, and grounded in the values that have shaped this community since 1876. At the center of that progress, CEDC works alongside public and private partners to guide development that is strategic, collaborative, and built to endure.
Here, doing business reflects a distinctly Texas approach—rooted in integrity, purpose, and a long-term perspective. Opportunity is expansive, partnerships are meaningful, and success is measured not only by what is built, but by the lasting impact it creates.
Because in Celina, growth goes beyond economics—it strengthens community, enhances quality of life, and reflects the promise of a place that continues to evolve while staying true to what makes it exceptional.
