Fulshear is making headlines as it has been recognized by CultureMap as the fastest-growing city in the last decade, a development that is both exciting for economic growth and concerning for local traffic. This announcement was made during the recent Economic Development Corporation meeting, where board members discussed the implications of this rapid growth.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming early voting, urging residents to participate in the electoral process. In a notable personal update, one board member announced they would not seek reappointment, citing personal and professional commitments. This member, who has served for four years, will begin a new position at a bank next week, marking a significant transition.

In addition to these updates, the board launched a new initiative on LinkedIn called "Local Voices Behind the Business." This program invites local business owners to share their stories and showcase their products, with six applications already received. The board is gearing up for Small Business Week in May and Economic Development Week from May 12 to 16, encouraging community feedback on events and outreach strategies.

As Fulshear continues to grow, the Economic Development Corporation is focused on fostering local businesses and engaging the community in meaningful ways. The next meeting promises to provide a more comprehensive update on these initiatives and the city's ongoing development.
