Construction Consortium March 27, 5-7pm, hosted by Tramonte Realty at Mario’s Seawall Italian Restaurant.
The Galveston Construction Consortium is a cohesive network of construction professionals centered around Galveston. The Consortium fosters meaningful connections and collaborations among members, ensuring that in times of crisis, local expertise and resources are readily available and utilized.
The GEDP supports existing and new businesses by providing the infrastructure to be globally competitive.
Since 1999, through the public private membership base of the GEDP, assistance has been provided including demographic and socioeconomic information, utilization of a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) for project development activities, maintenance of an information clearinghouse and economic climate assessments that have been made available to those seeking to make Galveston a better place.
Priority areas of investment include those projects capable of expanding or enhancing the core industries for the Galveston economic base: Maritime, Tourism, Education, Healthcare, and Emerging Technologies.
Maximizing Galveston’s human, natural, and financial resources, the GEDP remains committed to facilitating quality projects that work to expand Galveston’s employment and tax bases. Galveston is an island of opportunity and the GEDP looks forward to working with you on future projects.
“Collaborative efforts are a keystone for facilitating economic development benefitting the whole community.”
