Recruiting industry to Rio South Texas to establish a supply chain network redefining the region’s value proposition.

 

A new strategic framework for coordination and collaboration to advance economic growth

What’s in it for your company

 
  • Assertive data-driven and market-validated approach
  • The opportunity to define the industrial growth of the region

Key Takeaways

 

  • COSTEP is redefining regional economic development in recruiting industry to what we have termed as Rio South Texas – encompassing the assets and benefits of a 7-county region including Cameron, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Starr, Webb, Willacy, and Zapata counties. In addition, the region includes 10 Mexican municipios – Matamoros, Valle Hermosa, Rio Bravo, Reynosa, Camargo, Guerrero, Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, Miguel Aleman, Mier and Nuevo Laredo.
  • COSTEP is not bound by political geography or jurisdictional boundaries. This allows us to represent the region as a whole and not be subject to changes in agenda that may come about via changes in the local or county government.
  • COSTEP is not funded by the local economic development sales tax. We are funded by industry and businesses that understand that area growth is integral to sustainability with a purpose.
  • COSTEP understands your growth is integral to sustainability.
  • COSTEP was created in 2022 from funding provided by the Council for South Texas Economic Progress Inc., a non-profit 501(c)4 organization.
