The RGV Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has scheduled a virtual New Member Zoom Orientation (online) to help new members learn about membership benefits, available resources and upcoming programs.

The analysis noted that both the financed amount and total interest paid also hit record highs.

Since SpaceX arrived 15 years ago, Brownsville has transformed with nearly 25,000 new jobs and local businesses lining downtown and around Starbase (the company’s evolving launchpad).

The presence of SpaceX continues to boost economic growth as plans for larger rocket launches move forward.
