Julio Graña for BND Commissioner Place 3

Julio Grana’s passion for business goes back to his childhood. He grew up in a hotel where he spent countless hours working alongside his father and learning firsthand what it takes to grow a business. He learned early on that you can only succeed if others succeed with you. This interest led him to graduate from the University of the Incarnate Word with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. As he’s acquired experience, his passion for developing new projects and building great teams continues to grow. He owns and operates hotel franchises and mixed-use retail centers, rehabilitates distressed properties, and has developed residential subdivisions. Julio is excited about Brownsville's future and looks forward to the opportunity to serve.
