How We Help Local Buda Businesses
The Buda Economic Development Corporation has a strong commitment in serving the businesses calling Buda their home.
We assist through networking, workforce development, expansion, and funding resources as we help the businesses that are established in our community continue to grow and prosper. By keeping an open line of communication we learn what challenges are facing our companies and how we can step in to assist.
Strong Funding & Incentives
At the Buda Economic Development Corporation (EDC), we’re dedicated to fostering a thriving community through strategic investments. Our innovative incentive program is a hallmark of this commitment, designed to drive economic growth and prosperity. Our mission is twofold: to attract new businesses and retain existing ones, with a keen focus on stimulating capital investment and creating primary jobs.
We offer two tailored incentive programs, from small business incentives (LEAP) to large incentives. Each proposal is meticulously evaluated on its individual merits by our seven-member Board of Directors, ensuring a personalized approach that meets the unique needs of each company. This careful consideration allows us to create customized incentive packages that maximize impact and drive success.
By providing these targeted incentives, we aim to fuel business expansion, job creation, and economic vitality in Buda, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for our residents and solidifying our city’s position as a hub for business excellence.
An Established Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) Program
Buda’s Economic Development Corporation is dedicated to supporting Buda’s existing businesses through a comprehensive and structured Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program. The primary objective of BRE is to foster a deep understanding of the needs, challenges, and opportunities faced by local businesses, enabling us to provide tailored support and resources that facilitate growth, stability, and contributions to a thriving regional economy.
Through our BRE program, our experienced staff serves as a single point of contact, connecting companies with a vast array of business assistance resources, partnership opportunities, and expertise. We take a proactive and personalized approach to:
- Conduct regular business visits and needs assessments
- Identify and address potential challenges and pain points
- Facilitate access to funding, incentives, and tax rebates
- Provide workforce development and training resources
- Foster connections with local suppliers, customers, and partners
- Offer guidance on navigating regulatory and permitting processes

By delivering these critical support services, we empower Buda’s businesses to overcome obstacles, capitalize on opportunities, and achieve long-term success, ultimately enriching the regional economy and community.
