📍Big day in Texas City! At the Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast Texas City Open House and Ribbon Cutting, we welcomed community partners and local organizations to celebrate our brand-new location. This new space marks more than a move—it’s a renewed commitment to connecting Neighbors with opportunity and building stronger partnerships to serve Texas City and Galveston County even better. Special thanks to Juliet Stipeche, Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Workforce Board for opening the event, and to Mark Guthrie, Chairman of the Board of the Gulf Coast Workforce Board, for helping us spotlight the power of partnership. Also, a special thank you to Mayor Dedrick Johnson for the City of Texas City and Kristin Edwards, Economic Development Director, for the City of Texas City, for attending our celebration today.  #BakerRipley #WorkforceSolutionsGulfCoast #GulfCoastWorkforceBoard  #WFSGulfCoast
