1
The Need2023–2024

A city growing faster than its grocery aisles.

Anna is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and its U.S. 75 residential corridor was outrunning its retail. Families were driving out of town for a full grocery run. The city set out to change that.

Room takeaway

Growth without amenities is a real problem — and the city named it out loud.

Tone

Urgent, grounded, civic

2
The DealCity Council action

The Council put an incentive on the table.

Anna City Council approved an Economic Development Incentive Agreement with the Seitz Group to bring a grocery-anchored center to the southeast corner of Rosamond Parkway and U.S. 75 — a 27-acre site built to serve the growing corridor.

Room takeaway

A transparent, Council-backed deal turned ambition into a signed commitment.

Confident, transparent
