Mission outlines major infrastructure, industrial and redevelopment projects
Summary
City leaders described a slate of infrastructure and development work: Ryan Road reconstruction (complete this September), drainage improvements (La Cucia, Astra Land), a proposed water treatment plant with reverse osmosis, expansion of TIRZ planning, large industrial parks near the Anzalduas bridge, and an $88 million bridge expansion to serve cross-border commerce.
City of Mission officials used the event to present a detailed pipeline of infrastructure and development initiatives they say will support long-term growth.
Co-interim city manager JP Terrassa described transportation and water projects, including reconstruction of Ryan Road (scheduled for completion in September), upgrades to sidewalks, water and sewer infrastructure, and multiple drainage projects such as Tierra Loda Lift Station and sanitary sewer line extensions. Terrassa also said the city is planning a water-treatment plant with a reverse-osmosis component to increase supply reliability.
Mayor Nori Gonzalez Carza outlined redevelopment tools and private development expected to shape Mission's economic footprint. She said the city is exploring expansion of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Number 1 to include more of downtown and is evaluating a proposed TIRZ 2 west of Conway Avenue to support industrial growth near the Anzalduas International Bridge.
Private-sector investments and large-site projects highlighted by the mayor include a 145-acre industrial park at Anzalduas (described in the presentation as about 6,300,000 square feet of industrial space), the 175-acre Sherryland Business Park with 15 sites, and the Milagro master-planned area where 475 lots have been recorded. Mayor Gonzalez Carza said those projects are intended to attract logistics, warehousing and advanced manufacturing.
The mayor reported the Anzalduas International Bridge is nearing completion of an $88,000,000 commercial expansion to increase capacity and reduce delays; she cited roughly 3,600,000 crossings in fiscal 2025. Separately, the city and its economic-development partners acquired Cimarron Country Club and Golf Course for $5,000,000 and sold it to New Cimarron Group LLC for redevelopment—a project the mayor said involves investor Abraham Anser and architect Salvador Rodriguez.
Officials did not present formal votes or adopt ordinances during the event; many items were described as ongoing planning efforts or partnerships that will require later approvals and funding steps.
