What The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership does
Mission
The mission of The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership (edp) is to work on deals and initiatives, recruiting new companies that enjoy becoming part of the woodlands area community, while solving issues and seizing opportunities that catalyze economic development.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Business recruitment: the edp sources, leads, or supports deals that recruit new businesses to the woodlands area. It focuses on target market opportunities where it has a competitive advantage and where the target companies match the economic development vision of our community these are currently energy, chemicals, biomanufacturing, and premium office. This is accomplished through key relationships with lead generators, such as site consultants, the office of the governor, commercial real estate brokers, and developers. Successful deals result in new jobs and investment, boosting economic prosperity for the community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $857k to $1.3M (+48%).
How it's funded, over time
