McAllen–Reynosa: A Binational Platform Built for Industrial Continuity.
In a moment of global trade realignment and policy recalibration, the McAllen–Reynosa corridor continues to prove why it stands apart as one of North America’s most reliable industrial platform built for industrial continuity.
According to Ralph García, Chief Operating Officer of the McAllen Economic Development Corporation, the region’s strength lies not in speculation, but in ex*****on: a mature binational ecosystem where operations on both sides of the border function as a single, coordinated production platform.
From an economic impact perspective, projected investments approaching $1 billion and the creation of more than 1,000 jobs underscore the corridor’s role in strengthening the region’s industrial base and skilled workforce.
The corridor’s performance has not gone unnoticed. Representatives from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas have highlighted McAllen–Reynosa as one of the most stable and resilient border markets, particularly when compared to other regions navigating similar global pressures.
Through Council for South Texas Economic Progress (COSTEP), investors gain a trusted regional partner that aligns site selection, workforce, infrastructure, incentives, and binational coordination into a single, clear pathway to operation.
From first analysis to long-term growth, COSTEP works alongside companies to reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and ensure a successful landing and expansion in one of North America’s most resilient industrial corridors.
