CBBI reopens; looks to create Coastal Bend jobs

CORPUS CHRISTI – After more than $1.4 million in renovations to the Coastal Bend Business Innovation Center (CBBIC), the center is officially open. The Center is located at 10201 South Padre Island Dr.

"With this remodeling, we can increase our resident base to 30-35 clients," said Bill Cone, Director of the CBBIC.

Cone states that they have averaged 100 new jobs a year into the local market. “That’s somewhere between $14-15 million in annual payrolls,” Cone said.

The Center is partnered with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
