Calderon Economic Development Strategies, LLC  (CEDS) is a company with more than 28 years of professional economic development experience. The company was formed by Bill Calderón in June of 2017 to provide economic development consulting services and advice on creation, use and management of a myriad of economic development tools, including TIRZs (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones), Municipal Management Districts (MMDs), Public Improvement Districts (PIDs), Enterprise Zones, Industrial Districts, Tax Abatement Reinvestment Zones, and other special purpose district-based incentives. We also assist with Chapter 380/381 agreements and synthetic tax increment financing agreements.

CEDS also drafts legislative solutions to create legislative authority to address any programmatic or development needs for which legal authority is lacking.

CEDS provides creative solutions and fresh ideas to challenging development projects to bring them to fruition.
