PCDC lays out 2026 goals, emphasizes pipeline and workforce development
Summary
PCDC Executive Director Jerry Jones presented a 2026 plan prioritizing pipelines, site readiness and workforce partnerships; council members pressed for measurable, outcome-based targets instead of activity counts.
Jerry Jones, executive director of the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation, told the joint PCDC–City Council work session that the agency’s 2026 priorities center on building a pipeline of ready projects and strengthening workforce connections. "These are the goals of the PCDC," Jones said as he tied the corporation’s work to the city’s Aspire 2040 master plan and to PCDC’s strategic plan (SEDS). Jones outlined staff roles, market clusters targeted for attraction and a mix of retention and attraction activity—"60 to 80%" retention and expansion, with "20 to 40%" new attraction, he said.
The presentation prompted council members to press for clearer metrics. A council member said the slides "read to me a lot like activities and not outcomes," and asked Jones to return with KPIs that show what success will look like for residents. Jones acknowledged the concern and said staff are developing outcome-oriented measures — including site visits, CRM tracking and workforce partnerships — while warning that most economic development projects typically take two to three years to materialize.
