Review of South Texas Business Conditions
DUV AL COU NTY
While local businesses spread among a large
number of industries, their sizes vary remarkably.
The 11 construction firms together generate more
one quarter of the county’s gross sales volume,
and the single manufacturing firm accounts for 12
percent. While employment in Duval County is largely
concentrated in the health care and construction
sectors, the trade and manufacturing sectors have
grown rapidly in the past decade.
