An entry submitted by the BVEDC on behalf of the entire community won in the Texas Economic Development Council's Community Economic Development Awards. The category was a special one for the 2021 edition of the CEDAs: Resilience and Recovery, with a focus on “programs, initiatives and efforts to promote economic resilience and/or facilitate economic recovery related to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Over the past several years, the Brazos Valley Economic Development Corporation has been honored with a series of awards from state, national and international organizations. These recognitions reflect not only the work of the BVEDC, but also its community partners in making the Brazos Valley an even more prosperous place to work and live.

TEDC Economic Excellence Recognition
Three Consecutive Years
For 2019, 2020 and 2021, the BVEDC has earned the Economic Excellence Recognition from the TEDC. The honor goes to organizations meeting a desired threshold of professionalism in the economic development industry. Less than 10 percent of TEDC's membership earned the honor each of those three years.
Video Features Honored
In late 2019, the BVEDC debuted a series of feature videos showcasing the advantages to doing business and living in the Brazos Valley. The features earned honors from the International Economic Development Council and the Southern Economic Development Council.
