To our valued economic development partners,

Your email inbox probably has been flooded by communications from companies detailing their responses to the coronavirus. As we at Kilgore Economic Development Corporation navigate our way through the uncertainty and heightened risk, what we find most important is that everyone stay safe and healthy.

At this time, our staff continues to work normal business hours. Our office is closed, but KEDC personnel will be in the office periodically, and we will open for appointments. To reach KEDC offices, please call 903 522 KEDC (5332) and:

To help ensure the safety and health of our staff, the public and our partners,

KEDC is limiting meetings to those which are necessary to meet business obligations.
KEDC is following enhanced cleaning protocols, which include thoroughly cleaning between each and every meeting as well as high-touch point areas such as restroom areas and doorknobs.
KEDC has directed that any employee who feels ill should not come to work.

We will continue to evaluate the level of services we maintain and will update information should further action be necessary.
