Business information sought for database
The City of Keller’s Economic Development department is in the process of developing an exciting new Web site to showcase all of the businesses in our City. Residents and visitors alike will be able to easily find places to shop, eat and get other business services in Keller. The easy-to-use Web site will provide users with the ability to sort the business listings. Also, each listing will feature what the business does, contact information, pictures and mapping. A key part of this project consists of creating a database of information on our Keller businesses, including contact information, a business description and pictures to be displayed on the Web site. Keller business owners are asked to complete a short questionnaire found here so that businesses can be listed in the database. For information, please contact the Economic Development department at 817-743-4130 or economicdevelopment@cityofkeller.com.
