Featured Success Stories
Strategic Infrastructure Investment
One of MEDC's primary initiatives has been extending essential infrastructure to support business growth. The FM 1774 Sewer Extension project represents a significant $500,000 investment that has created new economic development opportunities along this key corridor. By extending wastewater lines from Friendship Drive to Nichols Sawmill Road, MEDC has enabled multiple businesses to establish operations in previously underdeveloped areas.
Business Park Development
The FM 149 Tract represents a visionary approach to business attraction and expansion. This forty-acre tract owned by the corporation is being developed as a local business park with a $450,000 investment in 2025. This project exemplifies MEDC's commitment to creating purpose-built spaces for businesses to thrive in Magnolia.
Infrastructure Incentive Recipients
Through our Infrastructure Incentives program, several businesses have benefited from targeted utility extensions that facilitate commercial development. These projects, supported by $200,000 in annual funding, have helped overcome barriers to growth while meeting rigorous engineering design standards and building regulations. Recipient businesses have demonstrated strong performance in job creation, business attraction, and development benchmarks.
Business Improvement Grant Success
In partnership with the Magnolia Community Development Corporation, local businesses have leveraged the Business Improvement Grant program to achieve growth and expansion. This initiative has supported new development, business expansion, and renovation of existing buildings in accordance with city regulations, resulting in enhanced commercial properties throughout Magnolia.
