The June 2018 issue of Corpus Christi Business News, a publication filled with features and news about the local business community with a special emphasis on small-business owners.
It’s summer in the Coastal Bend. Mother sea turtles are laying eggs in record numbers and the Shrimporee in Aransas Pass is setting up its tents and gathering ingredients for some of the best seafood eating around. You’ll find out about all that and more in the June issue of Corpus Christi Business News.
On the front page, along with sea turtles and shrimp festival, you’ll read about the resignation of Corpus Christi City Manager Margie Rose and the five elections (two, maybe three, left to go) needed to fill the District 27 congressional seat left vacant by Blake Farenthold when he resigned in April.
Corpus Christi Business News is mailed to 10,000 business owners a month free of charge. If you don’t get one in the mail, you can pick one up at any of the locations listed here, also for free. As the only business-focused publication in the Coastal Bend, the Business News is backed by a vibrant website of daily postings you can either follow online or have emailed once a week to your very own mailbox.

This month, the News Briefs on page 2 read like a Who’s Who of local leaders who have received awards, promotions, or pats on the back. And, if you’re looking for a new career, the pipeline industry needs you. Del Mar College wants to help provide the workers. That could be you! Read all about it in Corpus Christi Business News.
