McALLEN, Sept. 24 - The City of McAllen, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce and the McAllen Economic Development Corporation have launched a new Web site to assist visitors and residents with key information about entertainment, recreation, and business.
The Web site address is http://www.exploremcallen.com/.
McAllen Mayor Richard Cortez said that with the launch of the Web site, local nightlife, art and culture, entertainment, shopping, and restaurants are only a “click” away.
“This is only the first step for opening the front doors to our community to residents across the region and parts of northern Mexico,” Cortez said. “I invite residents and visitors to view the site at their convenience. McAllen is a vibrant American city on the border.”
Cortez said that as a growing, diverse city, McAllen’s entertainment offerings are ever expanding. This includes more parks and outdoors spaces, pro sports or new restaurants, stores and clubs, he said.
Having all the information about his bustling city located on one easy to navigate Web site is like one-stop shopping for visitors from around Texas and Mexico, Cortez said. In addition, McAllen residents will be able to use the site to find things to do with their families or when they get out of town visitors, the mayor said.
The Web site has been under development for several weeks and was designed by city staff.
“We wanted to make it as interactive as possible. This is only the first phase and we plan to continue to improve and add more features as the demand for information increases,” Cortez promised.
