Introducing Our Economic Development Liaisons!

We are pleased to introduce Jonathan Rodriguez, Iberty Trevino, and Luis Arenas as our new Economic Development Liaisons. They connect local businesses with free resources offered by our Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs), aiming to provide the right support for them to thrive and achieve long-term success.

Through resource sharing and close collaboration with the ESOs, they will work to strengthen business resilience, drive sustainable growth, and expand economic opportunities throughout our community.

Their contributions will be vital and we are delighted to welcome them to the team.

Connect with them today to schedule a business site visit and learn how the Economic Development Liaison team can help support your business growth.
