The Fulshear Economic Development Corporation held its monthly meeting on April 14, 2025, focusing on community engagement and upcoming initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses. Key discussions included updates on recent events, board appointments, and a new mural project.

The meeting highlighted the ongoing success of the monthly Business Depot luncheons, which have seen an average of six attendees in the first quarter of the year, with a notable increase to 13 participants at the latest gathering. These luncheons foster valuable conversations among local business owners. Additionally, a social media workshop series is underway, with plans to expand seating due to high demand, as many interested individuals were placed on a waitlist.

The first Entrepreneur Boot Camp was also discussed, which attracted 12 participants who actively engaged in discussions about their business challenges. Feedback from attendees was positive, indicating a strong desire for continued support and networking opportunities.

Looking ahead, several events are scheduled for April, including another Business Depot luncheon and a networking event focused on human resources, set to take place at Victor's downtown. These initiatives are designed to address the specific needs of local businesses based on community feedback.

In terms of governance, the meeting addressed board appointments, noting that applications are still open but may be extended due to a low number of submissions. Currently, only three applications have been received, which is insufficient to fill the available seats. Board members encouraged community members to apply or nominate others who may be interested.

The meeting also reported progress on a mural project, which has received council approval. The team is currently addressing logistical issues related to a nearby power pole to ensure the safety of the installation process.

Overall, the meeting underscored the Economic Development Corporation's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for local businesses and enhancing community engagement through various initiatives. Further updates on these projects and events are expected in the coming weeks.
