Pharr's State of the City was today. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I was sent a link around lunch time to watch it but didn't. The link now says that it was taken down by a music company for copyright infringement. BOOOOO. I'll need to find it.
I was told Valente Rodriguez aka Ernie from The George Lopez Show was the Master of Ceremonies. How fun!
My friend mentioned something about a $50 million manufacturing plant moving to Pharr? Don't have details.

Here's the manufacturing plant he was talking about. Guess it's moving from the McAllen trade zone? In hopes of expanding jobs, Hernandez in his address announced that the vacuum cleaner company Bissell, which has operated in South Texas for 20 years, would be relocating its manufacturing operations to Pharr, which Hernandez said was a $50 million investment in the city. www.themonitor.com/2020/01/16/future-pharr-bright-mayor-declares-state-city-address/

Especially with their long neglected parks.

Pharr city leaders, in partnership with Vanguard Academy, are proud to announce the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the City of Pharr and Vanguard Academy Nature and Birding Center. Our new park is expected to be an attraction for nature education and bird watching, as well as the arts and also includes an information area for nature education, interpretive signage for accessibility, a decomposed granite walking trail, and picnic areas for families to enjoy. Filled with native plants and foliage to attract a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and more, the park also has binocular viewing stations located throughout the park, further aiming to promote eco-tourism by attracting bird watchers, nature groups, educational organizations, and more.
