On the job market front, there have been no major hiring announcements or layoffs reported recently. However, the city's focus on supporting small businesses is a positive sign for our local economy.

In real estate, the city council has unanimously voted in favor of a multi-family housing development project in downtown El Paso[2]. This project aims to provide more housing options for our growing community.

From city hall, the El Paso City Council has also voted to increase benefits for those retiring from the El Paso Fire Department and El Paso Police Department[2]. This decision will have a direct impact on the lives of our first responders.
