Burleson EDC Director awarded Top 10 Economic Development Directors 2026 Award
We are proud to share that our Burleson EDC Director Alex Philips was recently recognized and awarded by the Government Business Review for the Top 10 Economic Development Directors 2026 Award!
Our EDC Director, Alex Philips, recently received a Top 10 Economic Development Directors 2026 award. In true Alex Philips fashion, while his name may be on the award, he shares the recognition with his team.
In an interview with Government Business Review, Philips discussed relationship-driven economic development and workforce alignment through targeted training initiatives. He also highlighted the importance of infrastructure readiness in sustaining long-term community and business growth. Economic development depends on coordinated execution across city leadership, internal departments like engineering, public works and the broader team working together to move projects forward. It takes a range of people to bring a deal across the finish line, and success is always a shared effort.
"This award is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment that each of our team members bring every single day for the betterment of the community. This doesn’t go unnoticed and it is great to see others see it as well for these accolades."
-A.P.
We are so proud to see Alex receive this award and be recognized for his deep commitment to the Burleson community, and we are even more proud to be a part of his team!
