Our History


The Galveston County Economic Alliance is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 and funded by a membership composed of individuals, cities, businesses and industries within Galveston County. The Alliance was the vision of Jim Yarbrough, County Judge of Galveston County. He brought a commitment to create growth and unified economic development for the county.

 


Our Focus


The Alliance is focusing its efforts in several areas to accentuate the opportunities and assets of the County, while addressing and resolving challenges:

 Economic Development - creates jobs by working to retain Galveston County's companies and to encourage expansions and relocations.

 Regional Planning - works to improve the business climate through transportation, infrastructure and environmental planning.

 Regional Issues - focuses on issues that influence the region's economic prosperity such as education, workforce and quality of life.

 Member Services - works to increase the economic vitality of member companies through business development programs, networking events and volunteer activities.

 Government Relations - lobbies at the local, state and federal levels on issues that affect the County.
