NATIONAL REACCREDITATION EARNED BY PFLUGERVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORP PAID ADVERTISEMENT
PFLUGERVILLE RECOGNIZED The Pflugerville Community Development Corporation has again earned national recognition for professional excellence, reinforcing the city’s commitment to economic growth, job creation, and long- term planning. PCDC was recently reaccredited as an Accredited Economic Development Organization by the International Economic Development Council, the world’s largest professional association for economic development practitioners. The designation recognizes organizations that meet rigorous national standards for governance, strategic planning, and performance. PCDC was first accredited in 2019 and earned reaccreditation following a comprehensive review of its programs, operations, and leadership.
Only 93 economic development organizations nationwide currently hold the designation. The reaccreditation process includes an extensive evaluation of an organization’s structure, funding, policies, strategic initiatives, and staff capacity. The review also involves a detailed documentation assessment and an on-site visit. Organizations must requalify every three years to maintain the credential. Local leaders say the designation signals accountability and credibility to businesses, investors, and residents considering Pflugerville. “This reaccreditation confirms that Pflugerville’s economic development efforts meet nationally recognized standards,” said Darelle White, president of the PCDC Board of Directors. “It reflects our commitment to transparency, professionalism, and results.”
PCDC Executive Director Jerry W. Jones Jr. emphasized that the recognition reflects significant progress made over the past year, including organizational improvements and a renewed focus on strategic priorities. The Pflugerville Community Development Corporation is a Type B economic development organization funded by a half- cent sales tax. It supports business recruitment, expansion, and retention while working in partnership with the City of Pflugerville to strengthen the local economy, attract investment, and enhance quality of life for residents. “ Despite our small staff size, the IEDC recognized us as a committed and effective organization. As the only accredited economic development organization in the Capital Region, this sets Pflugerville apart.” — Jerry W. Jones Jr., Executive Director, Pflugerville Community Development Corporation
