College Station councilman Dennis Maloney, who represents the city on the board of the Brazos Valley economic development corporation, relayed prospect information that he heard from BVEDC's president that maybe a dozen manufacturers are looking to move to the twin cities. That includes the possibility of a large facility in College Station's Midtown Park. Maloney also reported College Station is the 12th fastest growing city for small businesses in the United States and number one in Texas.
