About Us
The primary objective of the Lindale Economic Development Corporation (Lindale EDC) is to recruit industrial companies to the development-ready Lindale Industrial Park. Our main target industry is distribution due to our geographic location, the proximity to Interstate 20 & the 1.6 million square foot Target Distribution Center that employs more than 650 people. Additional industry targets we strive to attract are advanced manufacturing and back office operations companies. Currently, the Park is home to a 163,000 square foot FedEx Ground distribution facility and Sanderson Farms is constructing their 70,000 square foot administrative offices and hatchery on 17 acres. Features include: 40-foot concrete roads, 12-inch and 8-inch water lines serve all parcels in the Park; City of Lindale water, 8-inch wastewater lines serve all parcels in the Park; City of Lindale sewer, 3-Phase electric service, a 4-inch natural gas line serves the Park; CenterPoint Energy and AT&T provides fiber optic lines in the Park.
The second objective is to assist with certain targeted infrastructure projects necessary to promote or develop new business enterprises. The Lindale EDC accomplishes this by partnering on specific projects with the City of Lindale. Recently, we completed an Infrastructure Master Plan for the East Centennial Boulevard/I-20 North Parallel Corridor in advance of TXDOT’s construction to realign the Interstate 20 on and off ramps at US 69 and northside, westbound frontage roads. We are marketing the Plan and property to developers, brokers, retail establishments and restaurants, to attract additional businesses to increase the property tax base and sales tax revenue for Lindale. We will partner with the City, on a case-by-case basis, as needed and after significant evaluation, to assist with building infrastructure to service the area.
The third objective is to assist those who seek to locate or expand a business in Lindale, or build a development, by providing information, data and introductions. We share local wisdom about the market and, we keep an up-to-date, comprehensive list of land and buildings for sale or lease for small, large, established, and start-up businesses. Extensive demographics, zoning, traffic counts, employment/unemployment, and the trade area gap analysis are just a few examples of the data we provide. We also share contact information and personal introductions to City staff who will assist with ordinances, regulations, and permits throughout the pre-development and construction phases.
