Plano Economic Development

We offer an integrated approach of programs and services to support the creation of new businesses, the expansion and retention of existing businesses within the City of Plano, and the attraction of companies that offer high-impact jobs and share the community's file values.

In Plano, economic development usually takes three forms:

• Business attraction
   
• Business retention and expansion
   
• Redevelopment
   

All three forms of economic development aim to create new primary jobs that pay more than the prevailing wage, increase the amount of income coming into the community from outside its market area, and create greater capital investment in the community. The strategy is to achieve this in a number of diversified industries.
