This year, Mission was in motion like never before.
Together with our board of directors, partners, and community, we advanced projects that are fueling innovation, attracting investment, and creating meaningful opportunities for businesses and residents.
Mission EDC worked diligently to connect businesses with resources, drive entrepreneurship, and strengthen our city’s position as a premier destination for growth.
Through these collective efforts, Mission helped generate hundreds of new jobs, attracted millions in investment across hotels, community spaces, and amenities, and provided hands-on support to more than 30 small businesses. Mission also reached an all-time high in retail sales tax revenue, hitting $30 million.
Some FY 2025 milestones included the final steps for Killam Development’s 700-home El Milagro residential project , one of the largest master-planned communities in our region, along with major development and construction upgrades at the Shary Municipal Golf Course that will establish the Valley’s first night-golf-capable course.
Mission saw sustained momentum in new home construction this year, with almost $200 million in residential and commercial permits issued in FY 2025. The scale of investment confirms rising confidence in Mission’s market and a fast-growing population choosing to make this community home.
Mission’s progress is visible all around us, from major development projects to the entrepreneurs turning bold ideas into reality. Investors, national brands, and innovators continue to recognize Mission’s potential and long-term promise.
As we look ahead, Mission EDC remains committed to keeping Mission in motion. We will continue investing in people, partnerships, and progress to ensure lasting prosperity for our community.
Thank you to our board, city leadership, and partners whose collaboration powers this momentum.
Together, we’re building Mission’s future.
