An exciting new day is dawning in Rio South Texas
as COSTEP, Council for South Texas Economic Progress broadens its organizational mission and its vision.

This framework is data-driven and market-validated, with a strong emphasis on job creation and building a regional talent pipeline, all working toward the goal of creating a virtuous circle of education and employment to drive sustainable economic development in South Texas and prosperity for the region and its citizens.
