With a growth curve that extends well into the 21st century, abundant land and business facilities, a sound infrastructure, three foreign trade zones, an ample and diverse work force supported by educational programs, Pearland has ALL the resources you need to operate a successful and profitable business.

In 1995, the citizens of Pearland established the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) to help the citizens and public officials of Pearland attract new businesses and existing businesses to expand. These objectives accomplish two major goals; attracting capital investment to add to Pearland’s tax base and to bring new and better paying jobs to the residents of Pearland.
