TEMPLE, TEXAS (March 19, 2025) — The Texas Economic Development Council recognized the Temple EDC for Economic Excellence during its Winter Conference in Austin, TX. The program recognizes economic development organizations throughout the state for their commitment to professional excellence in the industry. This is the third year that Temple EDC has earned this recognition.

The Texas Economic Development Council’s Economic Excellence Recognition program honors economic development organizations that exhibit a desired threshold of professionalism. Recipients qualify for recognition based on training taken by their governing bodies, economic development directors, and staff.
