EDC outlines infrastructure and Technology Park projects, flags stoplight and land work

Matt, representing the Economic Development Corporation, reviewed the EDC's proposed 2027 budget and linked it to a work plan that prioritizes infrastructure to retain and attract employers. He highlighted funding for finishing Kaye Andrews Parkway, a four‑way signal under construction at Discovery Boulevard and Corporate Crossing, and targeted capital for Technology Park needs; he also said the EDC trimmed operating spending and planned strategic land purchases.

The EDC director said the organization's work plan aligns with the city's comprehensive plan and that staff will continue to coordinate tours and employer outreach. Council members thanked the EDC for the partnership and said they would tour employers and projects as scheduling allows.
