1. Troon's Edinburg deal is about more than golf: What both sides gain (golfbusinessmonitor.com) — Edinburg has hired golf management company Troon to run Los Lagos and Ebony Hills, aiming to turn both city-owned courses into stronger community and economic assets. The deal could reshape how locals experience golf, from more events and junior programs to better food, marketing, and tourism appeal, especially as Ebony Hills adds a new operations and workforce center by 2027.
   

2. Sharyland Pioneer High school student gives care bags to cancer patients (riograndeguardian.com) — Cancer patients at DHR Health's Oncology Institute in Edinburg recently received comforting care bags from Sharyland Pioneer High School senior Matilde Curiel, who raised funds through her nonprofit A.L.M.A. to support them. Her visit highlights the hospital's broader focus on whole-person cancer care, including patient navigators, emotional support, and coordinated treatment from a multidisciplinary team serving local families.
   

3. Fire Academies Meeting RGV's Needs (valleybusinessreport.com) — Growing emergency demands in Edinburg and nearby communities are driving expansion of firefighter training across the Rio Grande Valley, including a new South Texas College fire academy facility planned for Weslaco. With Edinburg often covering rural areas and new neighborhoods, local departments increasingly rely on STC and high school fire academies to supply well-trained hometown firefighters who stay to protect their own communities.
