In 2014, the City of Giddings and the Giddings Economic Development (GEDC) purchased 170 acres of land on the east side of town with highway frontage for the development of the Giddings 290 Business Park.
 The GEDC broke ground on construction in the spring 2015.
The GEDC also expanded its office space to a new location along Hwy 290 in order to increase visibility and to provide more amenities to clients.
In 2011, the GEDC completed restoration of the historic train and freight depots.
 Both facilities are owned by the GEDC and operated by the Chamber of Commerce as a visitors center and museum of agriculture and history.
The freight depot houses a display celebrating the city's links with the railroad and serves as a special event facility for community and private gatherings.
 The downtown paver restoration project remains under development.
 In 2015, the city, the GEDC and members of the American Legion launched Phase I of the Veterans Memorial Wall Project, with an expected completion by Spring 2017.
