Where is WEDC?

 Yesterday Windcrest residents received a vote Gerd Jacobi, McFall and Shelton post card in their mailboxes.
  "Worked with our Economy and our resources to grow revenue, attract new businesses and support our economy to ensure Windcrest stays Strong."
 
  Note, three business have been courted by San Antonio to leave Windcrest in just the past month.

What is Jacobi and Shelton doing about these departures?  Council made no mention of the Immigration offices being relocated out of Windcrest,  The Express news story of Oct 19, 2016 ran the obscure story and did not even mention Windcrest, but the address was listed.  8940 Four-winds drive, which is Windcrest.
 

Immigration office to relocate

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that oversees legal immigration to the United States, is moving its San Antonio offices to the far North Side.

On Thursday, USCIS will close its offices at 8940 Four-winds Drive, off Loop 410 and Interstate 35 North. The new offices at 20760 N. U.S. 281, at Evans Road, will open Nov. 1.

USCIS handles applications for lawful permanent residency as well as citizenship through naturalization and deferred action.

Those in need of emergency immigration services during the move can contact USCIS at 800-375-5283, the agency said in a news release.

  Last month the City of San Antonio Economic development corp enticed a former Rackspace unit purchased by Liquid Web to move to downtown San Antonio and provided $375,000 incentive package for the move.

 Next San Antonio announced a "Startup" started by a few Rackspace employees was also enticed to move to downtown San Antonio and offered some $100,000 incentive for the move. 

 Meanwhile the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation board is busy discussing the Private Windcrest Golf Course and probably discussing the next trip to Las Vegas.  

  The single most important program for an Economic Development Corporations is the BR&E Program.  Business Retention and Expansion Programs focuses on the retention and expansion of local businesses. Windcrest does not have a viable BR&E program, why NOT?

  The Windcrest EDC has spoken many time of implementing a BR&E program within Windcrest, but always saying "We are GOING to...."  Never, we ARE.  Now San Antonio comes along and sweeps businesses away, while the Windcrest WEDC is off in Las Vegas. 

  Jacobi, Shelton and McFall appointed the current WEDC board members and you can see first hand the results of those appointments.  Council needs to replace the WEDC entire board and appoint a board that works with Windcrest businesses to keep them in Windcrest.  

 VOTE Archuleta, Pedrotti and Dodson and VOTE NOT to the recall of Wright.
