Terrell - Industrial Outlook

During the past several years, Terrell, Texas has prepared itself for industrial growth and implemented plans to enhance and better prepare the community for increased economic development activity. Terrell's preparation included:

* Comprehensive land, water and sewer plans	* Enterprise Zones

* $4.2 million renovation to the CBD	* New industrial parks

* Expansion to water and sewer plants	* Tax Abatement Policy/Triple Freeport

* Airport renovation	* Opening of new I-20

In May of 1990, the citizens of Terrell voted a $.005 cent increase in sales tax to fund economic development. December of 1990 saw the first deposits to the fund that will generate approximately $550,000 per year for construction of roads, water and sewer lines, grants and low interest loans. The key factors in the expenditure of funds are new jobs created and total project investments. The sales tax deposits have continued to grow each year with the 2012 revenues expected to top $1.7 million.

During the past several years, Terrell has seen the addition of 3,343 new jobs created, 30 new industries, 11 expansions of existing companies and 2 existing buildings purchased along with $397 million added to the tax roles.
