Edinburg Texas mayor discusses border region economic development
Show Notes
The Rio Grande Valley is one of the most misunderstood — and fastest-growing — regions in Texas.
In this episode of The Building Texas Show, host Justin McKenzie sits down with the City of Edinburg Mayor Omar Ochoa to explore why Edinburg is emerging as a major economic hub for South Texas, how regional collaboration is reshaping the Valley’s future, and why businesses, engineers, and families are choosing to stay.
From cross-border trade and infrastructure growth to quality of life, festivals, and greenfield development opportunities, this conversation breaks down what’s really happening in the Rio Grande Valley — and why the rest of Texas should be paying attention.
If you are thinking about Texas growth, economic development, infrastructure, or the future of regional cities, this episode is for you. How many things in your house came from the RGV?
