The Heart of Economic Growth in Celina
As a dedicated nonprofit organization, the Celina Economic Development Corporation is steered by a 7-member Board of Directors appointed by the Celina City Council. Since its establishment in 1979, the CEDC has been fueled by a ½ cent City sales tax committed to economic development.
The mission of CEDC is simple yet powerful – to achieve economic excellence by fostering a vibrant business ecosystem that enhances the local tax base.
Our vision is to shape Celina's economic future as the premier destination for investment, innovation, and talent, where businesses flourish, community is embraced, visitors are welcome, and residents experience an unmatched quality of life.

JHP Architects and Urban Design
We’ve been in business for over 40 years, and we still get excited about what we do! We celebrate the good and we turn challenges into opportunities, then opportunities into Architecture. Our goal is to not get caught up in the ego of the finished product, but rather the humility of the mission. As with everything we do, JHP approaches challenges as a complex design problem, a problem that through collaboration, creativity, and deep exploration often reveal great opportunities. We create memorable environments for people that are rich in diversity, unique to the place and sustainable over time; bringing people together as a Whole Community.
