John, the founder
Why he built a national contracting firm from a town of 5,500 and never moved it.
Cameron is for you if you…
Quality of work and quality of life, in the same place. Here’s what the four businesses on this page have in common.
- Run a manufacturing, agricultural, construction, distribution, or skilled trades business.
- Need efficient access to markets across South-Central US: Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas.
- Want your kids growing up in a place where they can safely be kids.
- Like being known by name in your community.
- Build a company — and a legacy.
Four businesses, one pattern.
Four voices from EBCO GC, each on a different part of what Cameron actually feels like. Full EBCO story →

Jamie, on moving her family here
She commuted from Austin as a fractional CFO. The way Cameron welcomed her autistic son is why her family is moving here.

Chris, on his wife’s 30 days
His wife was sure she didn’t want to move to Cameron. Within 30 days she said, “I do not want to move anywhere else.”
Jill Michalka · 55 sec
Jill, on never leaving
Born and raised in Cameron. Third generation. Thirty-one years at EBCO GC. What it looks like when staying is the choice.
Come home to Cameron.
A CFO commuting from Austin who’s now buying a house here. A son who left, built a career, and came home to raise his kids here. A founder from Western New York who meant to stay one year and never left.
“Within 30 days she said, ‘I do not want to move anywhere else.’”
— Chris Egger, VP of Operations, EBCO GC
Why it works.
-
Geography
At the heart of Central Texas and the Texas Triangle: within 2½ hours of 20.8 million people, 68% of the state. Thirty minutes off I-35, without I-35 prices.
-
Workforce
A local workforce experienced in ag and manufacturing. Texas A&M is one hour away. Cameron businesses recruit there directly.
-
Incentives
Land discounts and tax abatements have helped businesses build here. Livestock Nutrition Center got both. That’s a community invested in your growth.
-
Community
The school district called Jamie de Grasse’s family back within 10 minutes, with the special-needs teacher already on the phone. That’s how Cameron works.
