The Forney Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) a citizen volunteer group appointed by the Mayor and City Council, is a not for profit (4b) Economic Development Corporation funded in part by a voter approved one half-cent dedicated sales tax. The FEDC has recognized the need to attract business and industry and actively promotes the area to new and expanding businesses. The FEDC operates the 160-acre Forney Business Park which has several parcels still available for development. This full-service park has all utilities, excellent access, communications infrastructure and major utility providers.
The FEDC also acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council in matters concerning tax abatement, financial incentives, and all economic development projects.
