ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Economic Development Department seeks to promote, support, enhance, and diversify the local

workforce capacity, the diversification of industry offerings, community development initiatives and
programming, and transmarket promotion of the unique values, mission, and characteristics of the City of
Saginaw, Texas.
The Director of Community and Economic Development is responsible for local business analytic reports and
information-sharing, attending meetings of various boards, City Council, and the Development Review
Committee (DRC). Staff strives to encourage growth consistent with the City's economic development goals
and will serve as the main link between the City of Saginaw and prospective developers, brokers, business
owners, and commercial property owners.
