AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Ventures announced that the Elgin City Council has approved an Economic Development Agreement allowing the Elgin development project to move forward in partnership with the Elgin Economic Development Corporation (“EEDC”) and the City of Elgin. The approval represents a significant milestone for American Ventures and reflects the Company’s long-term commitment to responsible growth, job creation, and economic development in Elgin.
