Texas has successfully attracted investments worth $4 billion from Mexican companies

During the annual SelectUSA event, the economic development potential of San Patricio, Texas, was highlighted. Adam Gawarecki, President and CEO of the San Patricio County Economic Development Corporation, revealed the key factors behind Texas's success in attracting investments and fostering industrial growth.

Gawarecki emphasized the strategic importance of Texas's location. "It's really important for us to be here. In fact, we are exhibiting alongside the state of Texas, or with our Texas team, which is our marketing group for the state. This is very important for us because we are just two hours north of the Mexico border in the region I cover," the executive explained.

These remarks underline the proximity to Mexico as a crucial factor in capturing the interest of companies and tech startups, reinforcing Texas's role as a bridge between markets.

Record investments and economic development leadership
The executive also highlighted the tangible economic impact of this strategy: "The opportunities for our state are huge because we have already secured nearly $4 billion in investments from Mexican companies into Texas."

According to Gawarecki, the economic development in the region translates into significant figures and also places Texas at the forefront of the United States in terms of capital investment, job creation, and improvements in wage scales.

"We lead the entire United States, year after year, when our governor is interviewed and all the projects, we have placed in the state are highlighted," he stated.

With a vision of collaboration and growth, Gawarecki extended an invitation to Mexican companies: "We would love to invite all companies in Mexico to visit us, speak with us, and invest in our state. We have a lot of land and space available for you, whether you need access to rail, highways, deepwater ports, or barge access."
