Strategic Business Plan
Goal 1: Promote an unsurpassed quality of life in McAllen.
Goal #1 relates to creating a top quality city in which to live. "Quality of Life" continues to play a decisive role in where people choose to live, as
evidenced by explosive growth in larger cites worldwide. Smaller metros such as McAllen's can compete via affordability, ease of transport,
quality of neighborhoods and schools, recreation opportunities within the region and more. Evidence including mixed beverage tax points to
McAllen's increasing dominance as the entertainment destination of the region. The new Performing Arts Center and Sports Fields as well as "first
to market" entertainment venues have further enhanced the city's offerings in recent years.
