Little Elm Economic Development Corporation

Celebrating 15 years with the Little Elm Economic Development Corporation!

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Jennette Espinosa, our Executive Director, and the heart, leadership, and dedication she has poured into this community over the years.

Her work goes far beyond projects, meetings, and daily responsibilities. It’s the relationships she has built, the trust she has earned, and the energy, heart, and get-it-done spirit she brings to Little Elm — for businesses, partners, residents, and the team around her.

So much of economic development is rooted in connection, and her 15 years with the Town are a reflection of that. She knows the people, understands the community, and continues to help move Little Elm forward with care, purpose, and a deep love for this place.

We are grateful for her leadership, her commitment, and the many ways she continues to serve Little Elm.

Congratulations on 15 years, Jennette! Your impact is felt in more ways than you know.
