“Thank you Weslaco EDC for making it possible for Tamez Financial Group, LLC to participate in the downtown beautification program. With your help we were able to give our 1930's building a facelift. The entire process was stress free and effortless. It was especially nice working with the great folks who make up the EDC.”
