WORKSHOPS
Welcome to Nederland
Here’s the scoop:
Splash of Kharma is still on Boston Avenue just in a new location.
Reining Visions has moved to Boston Avenue
Then Comes Baby Maternity Boutique- coming in April to 1220 Boston Avenue
The ground is still a shakin’ and the dirt is movin’!
I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE dirt when it is moving to make way for new construction! This is such an exciting time in our City where we have new businesses constantly moving to Nederland. Can YOU feel the ground moving?
One of the most important tips for success in economic development is to create a community and environment where people want to raise a family, build a home, and locate/grow their business.
In Nederland, Texas we are blessed to have hometown spirit, great schools, and many businesses to choose when shopping local.
Our new signs will be going up this week for “The Landing Shopping Centre of Nederland” located at Jack Brooks Regional Airport. Businesses coming in the near future.
We still have a few available spaces for lease throughout town for additional businesses to move in to Nederland. If you are interested in starting up a business, expanding your business or investing in a franchise, please call the NEDC at 729-1020.

We will be relocating to 1519 Boston Avenue. We will be centrally located between The Nederland Chamber of Commerce, Nederland Tourism Bureau and The Nederland Heritage Festival. It will be so much easier for everyone to find us whether you are already a Nederland business or just moving to town. Now you can simply look across the street from the newly renovated Windmill and you will see our office. It is a mess right now with construction but we promise an Open House when it is ready.
**Calling all Women of Action**
The Nederland’s Women of Action presented to more than 380 eighth grade students in Nederland at Lamar College Port Arthur for Nederland Rotary Career Day.

Others who participated were Christinia Herrmann with NEDC, Amber Johnson with WellFast Health, and Libby Arnold from Community Prayer Outreach. Thanks to everyone for making the topics on interviewing skills, resume writing, and how to look for scholarships, a topic of need for our students. You may find our handouts at www.nededc.com and click on Women of Action. Our next meeting will be hosted by NEDC at 1903 Atlanta Avenue for anyone who would like to attend.

The Nederland EDC was established in 1994 and its role is to promote the expansion of businesses and jobs in Nederland and to attract new businesses and development in Nederland.
We provide grants to businesses who seek to start a new business in Nederland or who plan to relocate or expand in the City.
We also have the PRIDE program to assist businesses with the exterior improvement of their property, through landscaping, signs, parking lots or other exterior improvements. We believe these improvements enhance the community and benefit the businesses and their neighbors.
