Leads & Opportunities

Seeking ways to better our community, better our businesses and better the Dumas EDC is a constant effort. Oftentimes, it is the continual networking we engage in daily that identifies an opportunity that will ultimately help our community. It may be a specific lead for a new project one of our businesses wants to bid on, a new business opportunity available in Dumas that a local person may want to invest in, or a business opportunity that the Dumas EDC wishes to make available to the community.

The Dumas EDC is actively working on behalf of our local businesses in search of opportunities that may help them increase revenue and jobs. We are typically found attending industry trade shows and other events that may put us in direct contact with people that are seeking what some of our local firms can provide. We strongly encourage our local businesses to keep us abreast of their capabilities, offerings, services and abilities so that we can better identify potential opportunities. In addition, the Dumas EDC enjoys inviting and/or sponsoring our local firms to attend trade shows, expos and conferences that we may be having a presence at. When we establish a booth at a show, we invite your firm to have marketing materials and banners available that we may take with us to hand out. Below are a list of industry events that the Dumas EDC considers attending each year:

The Dumas EDC routinely identifies investment opportunities being requested by new and expanding businesses. We encourage folks that have a desire to invest in businesses, products and new ideas to contact us directly for more information. Because we never know which product idea or business will succeed, we try to do what we can to encourage them to locate in Dumas when and if they raise the capital needs. Putting ideas in contact with funding is a big part of that relationship process.

The following list is provided for those that have the ability and desire to learn more about the opportunity. The Dumas EDC is representing these respective opportunities under strict confidence and may request interested parties to sign a non-disclosure agreement on behalf of the firms using our services. Contact the Dumas EDC directly to obtain more information. No email requests for information will be answered. Check back to see our list of opportunities, as these may change over time:
