Intersection of TX and MX

It is no secret that Texas is a powerhouse for business. The Lone Star State is the number one state for doing business, number one for corporate expansions, number one for growth prospects, and, largely thanks to our positive relationship with cities across the border, number one for exports. And with easy access to Foreign Trade Zones, ports, and international markets, our intersection of Texas and Mexico has created a stronghold for growing businesses.

Cut Costs, Raise Standards

In Edinburg, you can cut costs without compromising your quality of life. The cost of living in Edinburg is more than 20% below the U.S. average, which means more money in your pocket to spend on the things you care about. More money for Sunday brunch, concerts at Bert Ogden Arena and RGVFC soccer games at H-E-B Park. More money to reinvest back into local restaurants, shops and bars.

A Growing Healthcare Hub

What started as a single clinic run by a group of doctors has exploded into a healthcare sector supporting the greater RGV region and employing more than 6,000 people. Since opening its doors in 2003, DHR Health is now one of the largest physician-owned healthcare networks in the nation, putting Edinburg on the map for young talent in the medical community.
