The August 2018 edition of Corpus Christi Business News is now available in mailboxes and on newspaper racks across the city.
Catch up with Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts and find out how to run for Corpus Christi City Council in the August issue of Corpus Christi Business News. We have a few fabulous firsts on the front page as well: the first female commander at the Corpus Christi Army Depot and a new tour boat at Harrison’s Landing.
The Navy dominates News Briefs on page 2 with a look at how and where local recruits are serving their country. On page 3, we take time to brag a little about ourselves with a story on how the Texas Publishing websites for our vacation guide and business news now have their own domains. Corpus Christi Business News can be found at CCBizNews.com, while 101 Fun Things to do in Corpus Christi now dominates 101CorpusChristi.com.
Much, much more of some very good things can be found on both sites, and you can have links to those stories delivered to your email box on a regular (but not annoyingly frequent) basis by signing up for our newsblasts. You don’t want to miss stories such as the 14-foot hammerhead shark that was caught by someone surf fishing at Padre Island National Seashore!
