Carrizo Springs, Texas, is a historically distressed, rural area with a high poverty rate and an unemployment rate almost one and a half times the national average. H-E-B is the only grocery store serving this and several surrounding communities. Chase Community Development Banking provided $5.7 million in financing for H-E-B to expand their offerings and modernize their current facility in Carrizo Springs, adding 28 new full-time jobs and 43 new part time positions.
