Meet Me in McAllen!

The McAllen Hospitality Forum, a team of professionals from the hotel, car rental, restaurant and convention services industries, were privileged to have at yesterday's monthly meeting the Mayor of McAllen, Richard Cortez. Mayor Cortez spoke of his style of leadership, his desire for input with ideas from the public and of his resulting vision for McAllen. Mayor Cortez is committed to facilitating additional features in McAllen that will make people want to come here. Some of the attractions that can happen within just a few years are:
The development of 67 acres into a mixed use destination. This property is right in the middle of town but currently "under water." It's a holding lake for our water. This lake will be moved to less valuable land by 2012.
The development of additional parks including soccer, softball, and tennis facilities that will serve not only our local population, but bring in tournaments from around the state.
McAllen is fortunate to have this type of leadership in place and we all left this meeting determined to do our part to make McAllen better than ever. Let's meet in McAllen!
