    McAllen Economic Profile 2019 The City of McAllen economic scan presented here is intended to provide an overview and comparison of both temporal and point-in-time socio-economic data to assist City of McAllen leaders. Objective data is an important component of making sound public policy decisions. Prior to undertaking the economic scan, the McAllen Chamber of Com- merce compiled and analyzed data from both public and proprietary sources in order to identify trends in the city that have a significant impact on Hidalgo County’s economy. The resulting data was used to conduct a SWOT analysis, which character- ized the County’s strengths; weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) in economic development. In some cases, the economic scan builds on previous data from the SWOT analysis. The general layout of the economic scan is to provide information in a written and graphical format that can be updated by county and EDC staff in the future as new publicly available data is released. The economic scan provides an overview of data important to broadly defined economic development planning, but it cannot capture every indicator or level of detail for all data sections. General observations and notes on the measures provided are included within the economic scan. TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. McAllen Overview 2. Population 3. Economic Factors 4. Retail Trade 5.

University Dr., Edinburg, Texas 78439 GCAGS Explore & Discover Article #00056* http://www.gcags.org/exploreanddiscover/2016/00056_chavez_and_gonzález.pdf Posted September 13, 2016. *Article based on an extended abstract published in the GCAGS Transactions (see footnote reference below), which is available as part of the entire 2016 GCAGS Transactions volume via the GCAGS Bookstore at the Bureau of Economic Geology (www.beg.utexas.edu) or as an individual document via AAPG Datapages, Inc. (www.datapages.com), and delivered as a poster presentation at the 66th Annual GCAGS Convention and 63rd Annual GCSSEPM Meeting in Corpus Christi, Texas, September 18–20, 2016. EXTENDED ABSTRACT The South Texas Sand Sheet (STSS), spans approximately 7000 km2 (70 km by 100 km) and encompasses most of Kenedy and Brooks counties, and parts of northern Hidal- go and western Willacy counties (Fig. 1). It overlies and conceals the Pliocene Goliad and the Pleistocene Lissie and Beaumont formations. Despite it representing a physio- graphic boundary, a recharge area for local aquifers, an archive of climate change and a natural corridor for prehistoric human travel, basic knowledge of the STSS is still lack- ing. We are constructing N–S and E–W cross sections across the sand dune complexes and sand sheet deposits that dominate the landscape of the STSS, to measure its thick- ness and quantify its volume. With the construction of stratigraphic cross section of Interstate 69C our initial assumption was that the elevation increase was due to the in- crease thickness of the sand sheet.

    Port of Harlingen Master Plan Port of Harlingen Master Plan Prepared for: The Port of Harlingen Authority Prepared by: HDR Engineering, Inc. July 8, 2019 July 8, 2019 | i Port of Harlingen Master Plan Background Port of Harlingen is located in the southernmost tip of Texas on the Arroyo Colorado River. The Port is located 25 miles inland of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, which stretches from the Mexican border (Brownsville) along the entire coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and northward along most of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for approximately 1,050 miles. The Harlingen channel is maintained to a width of 125 feet and a depth of 12 feet with a turning basin that is approximately 400 feet wide and 14 feet deep1. With the expansion of the Panama Canal Locks in 2016, there has been an increase in international vessel movement of commodities to the Gulf coast region. The Port facilitates trade of bulk and liquid cargo in Texas, Louisiana and Mexico. The Port has operated over 80 years since 1926 and is strategically located to provide an important hub to the South West Texas region, Rio Grande Valley and the Mexican border. It provides an efficient and economical transportation link along the Texas gulf for shallow draft barge movement. With over 15 ports along the Texas coast, the Port of Harlingen has access to several major markets via this International Waterway, which provides over 1,300 miles of protected waterway and connects to several navigable rivers through which shipping traffic travels to inland ports. The Port handles mostly agricultural products and fertilizer; however, diesel fuel has also become a very good opportunity for the Port.
