BOARD OF DEVELOPMENT: 

    Picture of the Greenville Industrial Airpark entranceThe Board of Development was founded in the 1940s to attract business and industry to Greenville by providing information, services and development incentives. It has been instrumental in developing the city's two industrial parks.

    If your company is considering relocating, you certainly should take a look at Greenville, Texas. We invite you to visit and talk with the industries already here. 

    One local manager has said that his company experiences less absenteeism in Greenville than in any of the other plants they operate worldwide.
