The City of Austin Economic Development Department offers a range of business incentives designed to attract, retain, and support businesses that contribute to the city's economic growth and community well-being. These incentives aim to foster a thriving business environment, create quality jobs, and stimulate investment in key sectors.
In 2018, the Austin City Council approved community informed items to inform the development of economic development programs. The documents provide context for a purposeful approach that aims to address the needs of the community; respond to the direction from City of Austin leadership; identifies the challenges facing the business community; and responds to market conditions to engage in proactive intervention.
