During the November 1995 election, the Rockwall voters approved the adoption of a half-cent sales tax for the promotion and development of new and expanding businesses in Rockwall and as a result, the Rockwall Economic Development Corporation was founded on July 25, 1996 . Since its beginning, the Rockwall Economic Development Corporation has provided new businesses as well as existing Rockwall businesses with site locations, incentives, and other economic assistance.

In 1998, to stimulate high technology business development in Rockwall, the Rockwall Economic Development Corporation purchased 147 acres for development of Rockwall's premiere business address, the Rockwall Technology Park . The Technology Park was recently expanded across FM 549 to total 275 acres. Major infrastructure improvements in Phase II-III were started in 2005. There are three Fortune 500 companies and one Fortune 1000 business in the Park.
