April 11, 2024

COSTEP, Council for South Texas Economic Progress attend the Site Selectors Guild 2024 Annual Conference in Nashville, TN this month to promote the Rio South Texas region.

Each year the Site Selectors Guild holds its marquee Annual Conference with all its global Guild Members in attendance. The focus of the conference is the sharing of knowledge, interactive exchange of ideas, and networking between Guild Members, economic developers, and investment promotion professionals from around the world.

This event provides the perfect opportunity to connect with the site selector community in order to promote the region and create working relationships that can result in tangible industrial projects and primary jobs.

COSTEP was represented at the event by Rick Carrera, Director of Economic Development. “ COSTEP is continuing to make strides, inroads, and establish relationships with the site selector community. It was a pleasure to interact with site selectors, fellow economic developers, and other industry professionals.”

COSTEP efforts for promoting the Rio South Texas region were amplified at the event through a collaboration with Team Texas which included the Texas Economic Development Corporation, Edinburg Economic Development Corporation, and Greater Brownsville. The group provided a solid presence for the region at the event.
