The Rio Grande trade is rapidly emerging as a prime destination for businesses looking to expand, thanks to the efforts of COSTEP, led by CEO Adam Gonzalez and Director of Economic Development Rick Carrera. During a recent presentation, Carrera outlined how COSTEP drives economic growth by leveraging the region’s strategic location near the U.S.-Mexico border.

COSTEP has been instrumental in highlighting the region’s advantages, from its robust infrastructure—including highways, ports such as the Brownsville, TX, port of entry, and railroads—to the availability of industrial parks ready for development. With a significant workforce and expanding cross-border collaborations, Rio Grande trade can capitalize on trends like nearshoring, drawing companies closer to the U.S.

COSTEP’s partnerships with organizations in Mexico and their focus on promoting the region’s assets, such as manufacturing capabilities, make Rio South Texas an attractive option for industries looking to tap into new opportunities.
