Del Rio, Texas, located across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico—a city with over 50,000 residents—is positioned for substantial, long-term growth with major projects in the works aimed at strengthening trade routes between the U.S. and Mexico. This momentum is driven by large companies engaged in infrastructure development and regional expansion efforts. Ciudad Acuña is a hub for automotive manufacturing, housing several factories that are vital to its economy. Notable companies in the area include Irvin Automotive Products, Bendix, Gentherm de Mexico, Caterpillar, RESCO Electronics, and Toter Incorporated, which generate a steady flow of business travel between Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña. One prominent industry player, General Motors, operates a significant assembly plant in the city, drawing frequent business travelers from Del Rio. Additionally, Bendix recently opened a new $57 million production facility, marking its fourth manufacturing plant in Ciudad Acuña.
Del Rio itself is a lively border town with deep cultural roots and is home to Laughlin Air Force Base, a key U.S. Air Force pilot training facility that enriches the local economy and community life. Known for its bilingual population and close ties with Ciudad Acuña, Del Rio embraces its heritage through events like the annual Fiesta de Amistad, which features parades, music, and traditional foods. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the nearby Lake Amistad National Recreation Area, popular for water activities, fishing, hiking, and birdwatching. Del Rio's economy is diverse, thriving in international trade, retail, and tourism, and is bolstered by its strategic location and institutions such as Laughlin Air Force Base and Sul Ross State University-Rio Grande College. These factors together enhance the city’s cultural and educational appeal, attracting both residents and visitors.
