Venture X Offers Free Workspace to Businesses and Employees

Displaced by Recent Flooding HARLINGEN, TX – June 25, 2018 – In response to the devastating effects of recent flooding across parts of the Rio Grande Valley, Venture X, a professional coworking office space, is offering a week of FREE work space for those from affected areas (with valid ID) in its two new 10,000 square-foot workspaces located in Harlingen and Brownsville. Venture X is waiving the usual fee for one week and is offering 50%-OFF its standard rates for anyone who needs additional time after the first free week, through the end of August 2018. Venture X Harlingen is located at 6710 W. Expressway 83, and Venture X Brownsville is located at 222 N. Expressway. Venture X caters to many types of professionals through warm and inviting spaces that are fully-furnished and ready to move-in, with flexible terms. Businesses and employees, who have been displaced by recent flooding but need to find ways to continue working, can find everything they need in the Venture X office space during this trying time. Venture X’s office space includes all-inclusive utilities; high-speed internet; printing and document services; virtual, coworking and private office options; package handling and mail forwarding; high-tech meeting rooms and conference calling capabilities; community meeting spaces; free onsite parking; an office kitchen with access to the coffee bar, and more. “While we have only been open in the Rio Grande Valley a few months, the local business community has been extremely supportive of our efforts, and this is an opportunity for us to give back,” said Cooper Elliff, Community Manager for Venture X Harlingen. “Particularly for entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, continuing your business operations can be even more crucial for continued income during a disaster like the recent flooding.
