During the height of the coronavirus pandemic the tours were virtual. However, now the monthly visits are in-person with bus tours arranged to showcase development opportunities. The tours attract potential investors, realtors, and community leaders.
“Everyone is super excited about these tours. I think it is just a unique and creative way to bring people together from our region, to collaborate, to showcase the individual cities and counties,” said Marie Garcia, public relations manager with Sames Engineering and Surveying.
“We are honored that we have been able to put this platform together and to merge with the RGV Partnership so we can grow it beyond what anyone expected. It has been a great success.”
Garcia confirmed that there is currently a waiting list for economic development corporations wanting to showcase their cities.
“We are fully booked up to January 2022 and we have several more on the waiting list. It is really exciting the way this tour has taken off the way it has. It has brought the Valley together. And that is to showcase our Valley as a great place for business and success,” Garcia said.
Thus far the virtual tours have taken in the cities of Rio Grande City, Edinburg, Harlingen, McAllen, San Juan and Hidalgo. The in-person tours have featured Pharr and Brownsville. The next one, in August, with feature Alton.
