The Corpus Christi metropolitan area is a thriving economic center for not only South Texas and the U.S., but also worldwide, thanks to its strategic location on the Gulf of Mexico.

This locality affords it exceptional transportation options via highway, rail and water. Corpus Christi is home to the sixth largest deep-water port in the world, making it a natural distribution center.
The region supports a diverse array of prominent industries, which range from manufacturing, warehousing and transportation to healthcare, education, retail and tourism. Corpus Christi’s enhanced amenities, dedicated and highly skilled workforce, affordable cost of doing business, and an overall pro-business environment are all features which continue to draw in new ventures of all sizes and types.
Additionally, vital support from such resources as area universities and colleges, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation and the City of Corpus Christi have aided greatly in the continual growth, development and overall success of the region’s business climate.
