The Presidio area may well be the longest, continuously inhabited, place in North America. It was warm and fertile during the last ice age with plenty of water and a fairly benign climate. The present county comprises 3,856 square miles. From Wikipedia: “As of the 2010 census, its population was 7,818. Its county seat is Marfa. Presidio County …is named for the ancient border settlement of Presidio del Norte.

    COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF The members of the Senate Interim Committee on NAFTA: Senator Carlos F. Truan, Chairman Senator John Carona Senator Steve Ogden Senator Eliot Shapleigh Senator Mario Gallegos, Jr. The Committee staff: Salvador Mascorro Valdez, Director; Carla D. Buckner, General Counsel and Committee Clerk; Blanca Laborde, Policy Analyst; Sarah Acosta, Secretary, and Vick Hines, Chief Policy Analyst. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Committee Interim Charge Number One: Evaluate the impact of NAFTA on the Texas economy and determine how different segments of the economy are affected. Committee Interim Charge Number Two: Determine how NAFTA has affected employment and identify any employment losses or gains. Assess how the state's workforce programs have responded to any employment changes and make any necessary recommendations to improve that response. Committee Interim Charge Number Three: Assess the impact NAFTA is having on the state's infrastructure, including but not limited to transportation, education, housing, the environment and health and human services. Committee Interim Charge Number Four: Develop a statewide strategic response plan to the effects of NAFTA in Texas which identifies available and needed resources at the local, state and federal level and provides a coordinated response. Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock created the Senate Interim Committee on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in August 1997 to study the impact of NAFTA on the State of Texas. The central purpose of the Committee’s charges from the Lieutenant Governor was to determine if NAFTA has had an impact on the Texas economy and infrastructure, and if so, what we might do on a state level to address those affects.

  • Trans-National Commercial - Industrial
    TRANS-NATIONAL COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROSPECT Quietly nestled within the tranquil town of Presidio, Texas lies a unique opportunity for the development of a commercial – industrial complex perfectly positioned to take advantage of rapidly increasing interest in international commerce in this remote region. Brief History and Background of Presidio - Ojinaga Presidio and its sister city of Ojinaga, Mexico are located at the confluence of the Rio Grande and Rio Conchos in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert. The community is ancient by U.S. standards, with the surrounding area being the oldest continuously cultivated area in the United States. Indigenous farmers have lived at Presidio since 1500 B.C. and by 1400 A.D. the area Indians lived in small pueblos along the river. The first European to arrive was Cabeza de Vaca, reaching Presidio in 1535. The Spanish began to settle the region and were the only foreigners until the first wave of white settlers came to the area after the Mexican war in 1848. Even so, it was largely Comanche territory until the end of the century when it fell into the hands of Pancho Villa in 1914. The advent of modern civilization came with the arrival of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway in 1930. In 1986, the Texas Department of Transportation replaced the old wooden bridge on the Rio Grande with a 7 span, 2 lane bridge that greatly expanded Presidio as a the only port of entry between El Paso and Del Rio – a distance of some 380 miles. The economy has traditionally been agriculturally based with cattle being the major export from Mexico and produce such as cantaloupe and onions representing the largest part of crops on the irrigated land on both sides of the river.
