| Abstract: | Cameron County, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico face the Rio Grande River where it meets the Gulf of Mexico; it is a place of natural beauty and agricultural strength. The region has a strong economic and cultural heritage, established educational assets and a rapidly growing bi-literate workforce. Right now, the border region is at a crossroads in terms of regional leadership; business and industry development; education and workforce training; and quality of life. One direction leads toward enhanced regional prosperity; the other results in regional decline. |
