Episode Details

In this episode of The Brief, we sit down with David Loeb — CEO of Landlord Resources, Del Mar College Regent, and former Corpus Christi City Council member — to break down the biggest issues facing our region.

From the Inner Harbor desalination project and the real impact of water curtailment on businesses and residents, to the long-term cost of inaction, this conversation explains what the recent vote means and what comes next for Corpus Christi’s growth.

We also dive into the future of Del Mar College’s Freedom to Dream program, the shift to outcomes-based funding, the expansion of dual credit, and how workforce development is creating real economic opportunity for local students and employers.

Topics include:

• What curtailment could mean for businesses and ratepayers
• The true cost of water vs. the cost of losing customers and jobs
• Why Inner Harbor desal matters for economic stability
• How Del Mar College is increasing graduation and income outcomes
• Building the workforce pipeline for the Coastal Bend

The Brief is where policy meets business — from City Hall to the state Capitol to Washington, D.C. — with a focus on jobs, infrastructure, and opportunity in Corpus Christi.
