BRE Program Goal
Our mission is to learn about the needs and concerns of existing businesses as they relate to conducting business in our community, and work to address those needs and concerns to encourage continued growth.
Specifically, we want to:
- Establish and maintain a channel of communication between your business and the BSBEDF.
- Understand your perspective of doing business in our community.
- Better understand your business’ unique structure, its relationship to the local economy, and its growth needs.
- Pair your business with the expertise or the services that can meet those needs.
All information shared with the BSBEDF BRE TEAM is strictly confidential and there’s no charge for our services.
Our goal is to foster an Open for Business environment for your business to thrive in our community. When your business succeeds, it helps grow our local economy and strengthens our community to ensure its sustainability well into the future.

“There are many elements to recruiting and retaining top-tier employees, and one of great importance to us is the spirit of community found throughout Bulverde. We’ve seen tremendous growth throughout the region in recent years, and this is due in large part to the efforts of the BSBEDF to attract and retain businesses that provide value to the community.
