Manufacturing is the heartbeat of the Texas coastal economy. For generations, this industry has brought high paying jobs, supported small businesses, and powered our daily lives.

To keep our region thriving, we need resources. In Nueces and San Patricio counties, over half of the water used goes toward manufacturing. Corpus Christi is not an outlier here. This is simply what it looks like to be a strong industrial hub.

The question is how we secure enough water to support both residents and continued economic growth. The communities that thrive are the ones that plan ahead. Now is the time to do exactly that.

Explore how manufacturing drives the Texas coast, the role of water in industry, and how securing future water supplies ensures continued growth.

🎸🍋 THE LEMONADE DAY COASTAL BEND TOUR IS HITTING THE ROAD! 🍋🎸

Lemmy and Seamore are taking the show across the Coastal Bend as hundreds of young entrepreneurs get ready to rock their lemonade stands and showcase their businesses.

From Corpus Christi to Beeville, Robstown, Alice, Portland, Ingleside, Kingsville, and beyond, these future business leaders have been working hard to prepare for their big day.

🎤 Corpus Christi takes the stage Saturday, June 20!

When you stop by a stand, you're doing more than buying lemonade. You're supporting a young entrepreneur's dream, encouraging hard work, and helping build the next generation of business leaders in the Coastal Bend.

So crank up the volume, hit the road, and support a lemonade stand near you. Let's give these kids the crowd they deserve! 🤘🍋
