Cuero Development Corp. was one of 85 agencies across the state receiving the Texas Economic Development Council’s award for excellence in 2025 at the Winter Conference in El Paso Feb. 27.
The Economic Excellence Recognition program provides recognition to economic development organizations that meet a desired threshold of professionalism. Recipients qualify for recognition based on the professional development of their governing board/council as well as the economic development director and professional staff. Certifications, professional memberships and activities, and organizational effectiveness of the economic development staff also contribute to the standards for qualification.
“The TEDC’s Economic Excellence Recognition program is one of the ways in which our organization honors the outstanding commitment to excellence of our communities and regions, their leaders, and their economic development professionals have toward the professionalization of their economic development efforts,” noted Carlton Schwab, President/ CEO of the TEDC.”
The Texas Economic Development Council, established in 1961, is an Austin- based, statewide, non-profit professional association, dedicated to the development of economic and employment opportunities in Texas.
The TEDC provides information, educational and legislative services to more than 1,000 members. The organization’s objective is to support the economic growth of Texas and develop strategies that promote a positive business climate in the state.
