“The Second Annual Eagle Pass Business Expo is an excellent opportunity for local citizens to learn about the many businesses and organizations working or operating in the community and the valuable services they offer to local consumers or residents,” said Eagle Pass Main Street Director Joe Cruz. “It is important to shop locally and do business within the community first,” added Cruz.
The growth and prosperity of a community is measured by the strength of its businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations, and opportunities available to new would be business owners. Eagle Pass has many exciting businesses but could use many more to create a vibrant and dynamic economy to support jobs and opportunities for local citizens.
The Eagle Pass Business Journal recommends the City of Eagle Pass to design and open a One Stop Business Center to assist both local and out of town entrepreneurs and businesses on obtaining all the permits and information necessary to open and/or expand their businesses in Eagle Pass and Maverick County similar to the City of San Antonio’s program.
Everyone is invited to attend, learn, and meet all the local businesses and organizations who will be on display at the Second Annual Eagle Pass Business Expo on Thursday, October 1st, from 12 Noon to 7 PM at the City’s International Center for Trade.
