The mission of the Economic Development Department is to assist our existing businesses, attract new business, and stimulate capital investment in the City of Red Oak. To achieve these purposes, the City of Red Oak has formed both an Industrial Development Corporation (Type A) and an Economic Development Corporation (Type B). 

The primary goal of the Economic Development Department is to retain existing jobs and create new well-paying jobs that facilitate employment growth and provide a stable tax base.

The Economic Development Department staff also works with the Red Oak City Council, Economic Development Corporation (EDC) Commission, and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) concerning submitted development cases. If you have questions about a case, give us a call at  (972.617.6831). We welcome your questions.
