“Brownsville, the city, just seems to be expanding more to the north side. They’re like building more lots toward that way. They’re building more stores and some other stores are getting more popular. We just got a Dick’s Sporting Goods store and some people just thought it wasn’t going to be a hit here, but I guess it is.”
“I think with the new medical school here in the Valley, it will increase the population and it will bring a lot more people to the Valley.”
“The Valley in five years, I see it growing bigger with the new medical school at UTRGV.”
“I think with the expansion that they are doing in the university and the medical school we are going to have fresh faces, fresh minds, something that we are not used to. It’s a big change, and I think that it’s going to be a good change. It’s bringing more attention to us and I think that it’s good because we are going to need that in order to advance within the community.”
