and oversee the expenditure of the sales and use tax funds. The Development Corporation of Baird is governed by a board of directors
whose members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the city's
governing body. Upon receipt of the sales tax from the Comptroller, a
city is required to deliver the funds to the development corporation.
The board makes all decisions regarding the use of this local revenue
in undertaking projects. Baird adopted the sales tax for economic development (4A) in 1993.

includes Ron Keller, K.D. Griffin, In 1997, the Development Corporation purchased approximately 200
acres from the Union Pacific Railroad for the purpose of industrial or

of the city with direct access to rail and to Hwy 283. The board also
identified several buildings in the city that are available for small
manufacturing operations or for distribution centers.
