Kerrville Growing With the Eagle Ford

Kerrville is not situated in the producing area of the Eagle Ford, but the city is sending workers and oilfield products into the field. Alamo College has created a new vocational training facility that hopes to produce 135 welders per year. The Texas Workforce Commission is helping to fund the project that will hopefully fill more Eagle Ford jobs.
