Quintanilla: McAllen Means Business

So we’re here to welcome entrepreneurs seeking a path to success. And let me assure you, you came to the right place because McAllen Means Business. 

McAllen was recently named third highest sales tax per capita because we have everything business needs to be successful. A business friendly environment, a skilled workforce and a city government that invests back in the community. Our mayor, city commission, city staff, and everyone on Team McAllen works tirelessly to build a better future for this generation and those to come.

As the third most affordable city to live in, in Texas; the third safest city in America; and as one of US News and World Report’s top 50 places to live, McAllen has built a strong foundation for continued growth, which you can be a part of. 

McAllen’s businesses are the cherished backbone of our community. They strengthen the entire local economy, bringing opportunity that benefits all. And the City of McAllen is here to back you up. That is the idea behind the city’s program like Refresh5050, our storefront reimbursement grant. 

And with a strong partnership with our friends at McAllen Chamber of Commerce, we strive to work hand in hand with the needs of our business community. We understand that time is money, and that is why we have not only launched the McAllen Means Business website, but we welcome you at our one stop shop, the McCown Development Center, to ensure that we work with you to get your doors open and your customers in. 

Through these initiatives and more, we’re ensuring that McAllen continues to lead the Rio Grande Valley in business, trade and standard of life. 

I invite businesses of all sizes to join us here in McAllen, McAllen’s economic outlook is bright and we are excited to share our success with you. 

We thank you for taking the time to join us and our community here in the City of McAllen, where dreams come true and where you can thrive in the City of McAllen. Thank you very much.
