RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas - It is not often a mayor in Texas runs a video during his or her state of the city address that includes messages from eight dignitaries from Mexico.
Sometimes a mayor from the border region will have a video message from one or two of his counterparts in Mexico. But rarely eight.
But that is what Rio Grande City Mayor Joel Villarreal had in his recent 2024 State of the City Address. This, surely, is testament to how interwoven Rio Grande City is with its neighbors to the south.
Introducing the video, Villarreal said: “It is imperative that Rio Grande City continues to be on the forefront of international relations and the concept of near-shoring, which is simply bringing business operations closer to home to minimize supply chain interruptions. That includes faster customer delivery, faster market access, as well as operational flexibility, lower customs expenses, and the overall company's bottom line. So with that our City Commission… we have the vision to continue to promote and foster international relations.”
Here is an audio recording of the messages of goodwill that the eight dignitaries from Mexico delivered to Mayor Villarreal:
