Aransas Pass partners with Del Mar College SBDC to provide local small‑business advising
Summary
The council authorized an MOU to allow Del Mar College's Small Business Development Center to use office space at the Aransas Pass Civic Center for advising and outreach; Del Mar representatives said SBDC counselors will travel to rural communities to meet local businesses.
The Aransas Pass City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with Del Mar College that will allow the college's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to use office space at the Aransas Pass Civic Center for advising and training services.
Malik Jones introduced the item and said the SBDC provides free counseling and outreach. Dan Koros, dean of workforce programs and corporate services at Del Mar, explained the SBDC covers multiple counties in the southwest network and said offering office space locally helps rural businesses receive more professional, in‑person services rather than meeting in ad hoc locations.
Councilmembers welcomed the partnership as a means to support local businesses and workforce development; the council voted to approve the MOU and authorized staff to finalize the agreement.
