The primary objective for the CEDC is the expansion of tax base to support community development. Through the attraction of new retail, commercial, restaurant, and other sales tax generating venues. The local tax base can be expanded to support additional community development activity such as quality community parks and recreation, improved roadways, and other quality of life amenities. The CEDC also works to attract job creating office and commercial developments that help grow the property tax base supporting municipal operations.

Texas state law has authorized Texas communities to approve the use of up to one-half cent of sales tax on retail sales to fund economic development attraction efforts. By local option election, Corinth has established the CEDC, a type B economic development corporation, to attract new business and support community development projects. The CEDC Board of Directors is an independent board of the City of Corinth with its seven-member board appointed by the Corinth City Council for two-year terms.
