I have learned so much about economic development, this community, and myself. “The people I have met during my time here at the Mexia EDC have been phenomenal. I appreciate each and every one of you that has been a mentor, colleague, and friend to me. Your kindness and expertise will not be forgotten, and I hope that we cross paths in the future “And thank you to our City Manager, City Secretary, and City Council for being wonderful partners throughout this endeavor.
