The Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation initiatives, endeavors, programs, and incentives revolve around the human capital that’s within our community.

Collaborating on Economic Development Projects

From our ongoing ‘Border and Sea’ Campaign to sponsoring signature events, we provide a wide array of resources, incentives, and programming suited to the needs of our community, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, our eBridge Center for Business & Commercialization replaces traditional silos with an interconnected network of resources built for entrepreneurs and the new economy. By providing a resource hub like the eBridge Center to Brownsville’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, the BCIC strives to make the support entrepreneurs need easily accessible.
