Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation receives Economic Excellence Award for 2023

Special to the Leader-Press

The Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation recently received the Economic Excellence Recognition award from The Texas Economic Development Council (TEDC) for the second consecutive year.

The Economic Excellence Recognition program provides recognition to economic development organizations that meet a desired threshold of professionalism.

Recipients qualify for recognition based on training taken by their governing board/council as well as the economic development director and professional staff. Certifications, professional memberships and activities, and organizational effectiveness of the economic development staff also contribute to the standards for qualification.

“The TEDC’s Economic Excellence Recognition program is one of the ways in which our organization honors the outstanding commitment to excellence of our communities and regions, their leaders, and their economic development professionals have toward the professionalization of their economic development efforts,” noted Carlton Schwab, President/CEO of the TEDC.

"We have made great strides in the development of a strong team at Copperas Cove EDC in order to provide our community and clients the best service possible. Thanks to TEDC for this recognition. We are among the best economic development groups in Texas and will continue to grow in order to serve this community," said CCEDC Executive Director, Fred Welch.
