Letter from the Publisher

The Coastal Bend has become home to several thriving industries.

Each company specializes in a unique product or service. The local Craft Training Center of the Coastal Bend is vital in the training and qualification of the people that would like to work in these industries. Our coastal location is ideal for these companies.

Without The Port of Corpus Christi moving ships in and out of the bay, this local business opportunity for our area would not be possible.

There are numerous industries and support to mention,

but as you glance through this Industry Update and click on the various advertisements, you will be taken to their websites which will share what that company does and how it operates in our area.

These local Industries and their partners help add to our quality of life and make our corner of the world the best place to be.

Call our chambers and they will send you info about their town and market areas. You can also subscribe to on or both of our papers the Aransas Pass Progress or Ingleside

Index by calling 361758-5391 or emailing bookkeeper@aransaspassprogress.com This special Industry edition will be available on our websites and on the

Progress/Index Facebook. Visit www. aransaspassprogress. com and www.inglesideindex.com or our Facebook page for more information.
