Message from the ChairmanWelcome to Pharr, a community rich with bi-cultural diversity, beauty, and history. Pharr is strategically centered in the Rio Grande Valley, a river delta of the Rio Grande at the tropical tip of South Texas. Only minutes from the Mexico border, over 250,000 visitors enjoy the diversity of Pharr’s way of life, business and people with its variety of retail outlets, residential neighborhoods and cultural events. Pharr’s rich heritage is unwavering. Years ago, when produce and cotton were thriving in the Rio Grande Valley, Pharr was the hub for trade and commerce. Today, with a healthy economy and steady growth, and a consumer reach of over 10 million people, Pharr has leveraged its history and continues to be the center of international logistics and transportation. Pharr is the gateway for business and industry opportunities on both sides of the border. Pharr recently achieved a historic milestone by being awarded and designated an All-America City. This is a prestigious award that recognizes civic excellence, honoring communities in which citizens, government, business and organizations demonstrate successful economic partnerships. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Pharr, where connecting business everywhere is our commitment. Best wishes,
