Executive Director

Bullard Economic Development Corporation

Bullard, Texas

Position Summary

The Bullard Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) is seeking an experienced, energetic, and strategic professional to serve as its Executive Director. The Executive Director will lead the organizations efforts to promote economic growth, business development, job creation, and quality investment within the City of Bullard and its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

Located in the rapidly growing Tyler Metropolitan Statistical Area and primarily situated within Smith County, Bullard is experiencing significant residential and commercial growth driven by its strategic location, exceptional quality of life, strong schools, and proximity to the regional economic hub of Tyler. Bullard has become one of the most desirable communities in East Texas for families, businesses, and investment due to its small-town character, community pride, and continued growth.

A key strength of the community is the Bullard Independent School District, which is widely recognized throughout the region for academic achievement, student programs, athletics, and community support. The area also benefits from access to major higher-education and work force ­training institutions in the Tyler region, including Tyler Junior College and the University of Texas at Tyler, both of which contribute significantly to workforce development, talent attraction, and regional economic competitiveness.

Reporting directly to the City Manager and working closely with the BEDC Board of Directors, City Council, local businesses, developers, regional partners, and community stakeholders, the Executive Director will serve as the primary leader and advocate for economic development initiatives that strengthen Bullards tax base and enhance the communitys long-term prosperity. The BEDC is funded through a dedicated economic development sales tax and focuses on advancing strategic growth opportunities, supporting existing businesses, recruiting new investment, and facilitating infrastructure and development initiatives aligned with the communitys vision.
