Business Retention and Expansion Partnership
The Business Retention and
Expansion Partnership, formed in 2016, is a group of Mesquite’s core stakeholder organizations – Mesquite Economic Development (part of the City of Mesquite); Mesquite Independent School District (MISD), specifically Career and Technical Education; Dallas College; Workforce
Solutions Greater Dallas and the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce. New members include Forney Independent School District and the University of Texas at Dallas.
Keeping the focus on our shared goals and working hand-in-hand, our partnership delivers platforms and programs for all areas of industry. We work to empower the people that drive the Mesquite economy – whether it be the share-holder, the worker, or the solo entrepreneur.
