Welcome to the EDI's

The Economic Development Industry (EDI) Awards created by the Laredo EDC, recognize individuals and industries whose achievements have made a significant contribution and lasting impact on the growth and betterment of our community.

 The EDI recognition complements the mission of the Laredo EDC to promote and foster the economic and industrial development of the Laredo region. 

The Laredo EDC is excited to restart the EDI awards and Boots 'n Bling Gala by selecting honorees that have served a crucial role in advancing our community and thus, best exemplify the significance of the EDI Award. 

Each honoree was selected by the Laredo EDC organizing committee for their vision and commitment to our region, creating jobs and adding to the economic growth and sustainability of Laredo and Webb County. In addition to their records of excellence, all honorees believe in giving back to our community and for that, we say Thank You! Furthermore, we thank all our sponsors for honoring the recipients of the 2021 EDI Awards and for supporting the mission of the Laredo EDC by joining us at the Boots ‘n Bing Gala.
