GEORGETOWN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FUND
The Georgetown Economic Development Corporation (GEDCO) considers requests and also grants
economic development funds as authorized and defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
Section 4A, leading to the creation or retention of primary jobs and/or provision of significant capital
investment which benefits the community of Georgetown. The funding source is 1/8th cent of the
City’s sales tax rate.
FISCAL YEAR 2022
Total revenues are projected to be $3.3 million, which is a 18% percent increase over budget. This
increase is due to strong sales tax collections.
Total expenses are projected to be $6.9 million, which is more than the budgeted amount of $2
million. This is largely due to the timing of economic development incentive payments and the
fund will be amended at year-end. Several approved agreements have met their performance
targets to receive reimbursement: Champion Site Prep, Motion Commercial, Sedro Crossing,
NorthPark35, and WBW Development. Additional payments are anticipated for Atmos, CelLink,
Texas Outdoor Power, and Texas Speed.
Total fund balance as of September 30th is projected to be $2.8 million with a sales tax
contingency reserve of $665,000 and a reserve for debt service of $204,000.
FISCAL YEAR 2023
Budgeted revenues are expected to total $3.5 million. Sales tax is projected to increase 8% over
2022 projections.
Budgeted expenses total $4.6 million. This includes the cost of all currently anticipated Economic
Development projects for CelLink, Loram, Texas Outdoor Power, Texas Speed and WBW. The
budget includes $100,000 for the startup of a small business loan program. GEDCO’s share of Joint
Services and General Fund Allocations total $580,000. A cost allocation study was completed which
results in a slight decrease of GEDCO’s allocation to the General Fund, and a large increase to
GEDCO’s allocation to the Joint Services Fund. These increases are a result of the data sets used to
allocate Economic Development department, Finance departments, City Manager’s Office, and
other support services. The annual debt service payment for the Sheraton Garage in the Rivery TIRZ
is $204,000. They repayment of a loan from the Water Fund is $90,000.
Total fund balance is projected to be $1.7 million as of September 30th. This meets the contingency
requirement of reserving 25% of budgeted sales tax revenue, as well as the debt service reserve
requirement.
