Edinburg's
North Industrial Park continues to attract new projects that promote economic
development, with the latest additions being a commercial truck driver training
center and warehouse construction with service workshops. These combined
investments amount to $1,350,000.
The
Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) in the city announced these new
developments following the acquisition of Lots 7B and 9 by RGV CDL, a company
specializing in commercial driver training.
The
commercial driver training center, spanning 3,500 square feet on Lot 7B, has
already received approval for CDL testing from the Texas Department of Public
Safety. Operations are slated to commence in the second quarter of 2024.
Aldo Iván
Ortiz, owner of RGV CDL, expressed enthusiasm for their new location in North
Industrial Park, Edinburg: "In Edinburg's North Industrial Park, we've
found a home. This 3,500-square-foot building is not just a space; we're
turning dreams into reality to create a better future."
The
investment in this development amounts to $550,000.
Raudel
Garza, CEO of EEDC, highlighted the competitive advantages that businesses will
enjoy by locating in this industrial park, emphasizing the benefits it will
bring in training new workers. He stated, "By selling two of our
properties in North Industrial Park to RGV CDL, we're providing space for a new
commercial driver's license testing facility, approved by the DPS, and a
commercial truck maintenance workshop. RGV CDL is working diligently to ensure
our workforce is trained and readily available for high-demand occupations,
such as truck drivers."
Storage
solutions and service workshops will be located on Lot 9, with an investment of
$800,000. This area will encompass 4,500 square feet with three warehouses
available for leasing and state-of-the-art commercial truck service facilities.
The combined warehouse spaces will offer approximately 9,600 square feet.
These
expansions underscore Edinburg's presence as a thriving hub for industry,
transportation, and the logistics sector.
