Eric Gage was selected as City Manager for the City of La Marque by the La Marque City Council in January 2009.

Gage served as La Marque's Executive Director of Economic Development from May 2001 to February 2006.  While in this capacity, he helped create a pro-economic development stance in which La Marque saw a high rate of commercial and residential growth.  Gage saw a need in under-served areas and helped to bring development to those areas as well.

After leaving La Marque, he joined the City of Pearland's Economic Development Corporation as their Business Development/Marketing Manager from February 2006-July 2007.  During that time, he was responsible for the business retention and expansion as well as coordinating all marketing efforts to promote Pearland.

Economic Development exposed Gage to a multitude of businesses and people who introduced him to the business of real estate.  He started a home rental business in which he owns homes in Houston's Inner-Loop and Galveston County.  This led to a successful and full-time real estate career with a large national firm in Houston.

Gage was born and raised in Texas City, La Marque's neighboring city.  He is a 1996 graduate of Texas City High School and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications -- Public Relations from Texas State University in 2000.  He is active in the Rotary Club and serves on the Texas City-La Marque Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.  He is a member of Houston Area Realtors, Houston Young Professionals for the Arts, Texas City Managers Association and the International City Manager's Association.

Gage is excited to be back home working for the citizens of La Marque.  When you can't find him at City Hall, you can find him close to the beaches of Galveston, spending time with his family and friends or at the Intercontinental Airport terminal flying to a well-deserved destination.
