Rockwall Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors & Staff

In November 1995, Rockwall voters adopted a half-cent sales tax for economic development. In July 1996, the Rockwall Economic Development Corporation (REDC) was formed. Today, the REDC has four staff people and is governed by a board of directors comprised of five voting and five ex-officio members. REDC is privileged to have a board comprised of school leaders, community servants, and heads of industry, who represent a diverse cross-section of our community – essential to making long-range, prudent decisions with regard to Rockwall’s economic development.

The REDC is responsible for ensuring that Rockwall is an ideal location for expanding and relocating businesses. The REDC works with other local and regional organizations to make improvements in infrastructure, workforce, business climate and quality of life in order to attract high-value industries. It also markets Rockwall, often working with regional and state allies to ensure that Rockwall’s brand is well-known and well-perceived.
