Sales tax revenues for RGV communities continue to surgeMCALLEN, RGV – Communities in the Rio Grande Valley are doing very well for sales tax revenues, as compared to other parts of the Texas-Mexico border and the state as a whole. The numbers are collated each month by the Texas Comptroller’s Office. The September report, which analyses sales tax revenues for July, show Hidalgo County up 10.21 percent, as compared to the same month a year ago, and Cameron County up 9.95 percent over July 2017. Year to date, with nine months of the reporting period in, Cameron County is up 6.16 percent, while Hidalgo County is up 6.48 percent. “The numbers are really, really, good,” said Matt Ruszczak, executive director of Rio South Texas Economic Council. In his review of Cameron County, Ruszczak said:
“If you do a comparison between July 2017 and July 2018, Cameron County as a whole is up 9.55 percent, so almost double-digit growth. South Padre Island was up 5.4 percent, Port Isabel was up 15.18 percent, and, the big mover, in the month of July in Cameron County was Brownsville, up 19.14 percent. A very strong rebound from the almost four percent dip Brownsville saw in June.” In his review of Hidalgo County, Ruszczak said: “Not to be outdone, Hidalgo County performed even better, they broke double digit mark, growing 10.21 percent. There, the growth was spread around several communities. Weslaco was up 13.71 percent, Pharr was up 12.44 percent, Edinburg was up 9.92 percent, Mission was up 7.70 percent. We had a very good, positive, number out of Mercedes, up 5.58 percent, and McAllen was almost up by double digits, 9.49 percent growth.” Ruszczak said there were only two negatives in the Valley. “San Benito was down very slightly, down 1.56 percent, and Harlingen, down extremely slightly, 0.35 percent. So, essentially flat. Those are the only two red numbers on my entire sheet.”Read more: riograndeguardian.com/sales-tax-revenues-for-rgv-communities-continue-to-surge/
