Sherman Economic Development Corporation

Organization Overview

Our mission is to grow and diversify the economy of Sherman and the surrounding area through the addition of new jobs and investment of primary employers. Since 1996, SEDCO has focused on a mission and strategy to grow the primary employment sector — those companies with statewide, national, and global markets. The local 3/8 cent sales tax supporting SEDCO provides the resources to market the community, provide cash incentives for new investments and jobs, and develop business park sites for industry. SEDCO Board of Directors and Sherman City Council annually adopt a new Program of Work for SEDCO to guide the development, re-development and community enhancement in Sherman and the surrounding area.
