“Economic development” is a
term which is casually tossed
about today as a solution to the
weakened state of the Texas
economy. It is also a two-word
term which will take on increasing
significance in Austin County as
citizens mobilize their forces
towards a single goal — revitali-
zation of the local economy.
With the assistance of experts
from Houston-Galveston Area
Council (HGAC), Austin Coun-
tians have taken the first step to
recovery through formation of an
Overall Economic Development
Committee (OEDC).
The Economic Development
Administration has, since 1965,
provided assistance to areas
experiencing economic distress.
Austin County with its high
unemployment rate may qualify
for EDA programs, as may 12 of
13 counties in HGAC’s region.
To become eligible for EDA
programs, the county must pre-
pare an overall economic develop-
ment plan. The OEDC committee
