Tourism & Business Development

Tourism and Business Development works with local community leaders and businesses to help strengthen Castroville and our ability to attract tourism and business development.

By expanding the local tax base, improving the quality of life for residents, and preserving the character and uniqueness of Castroville through projects that assist in the business retention and expansion, and new business development, the city will have sustainable growth.
