Topics range from construction of CARDONE Industries’ new $50 million, 920,000-square-foot Harlingen distribution center to the Harlingen Aerotropolis. Also part of the discussion are the Park at Roosevelt and industrial property availability in the Harlingen Industrial Park.

“It’s a really smart time for site selectors to be looking at industrial property in Harlingen,” says Garza. “The new CARDONE facility is going to have a huge impact on the Harlingen Industrial Park.”

CARDONE Industries broke ground on its newest distribution center in the Harlingen Industrial Park in December 2017. It selected Harlingen as an ideal location that will furthermore ensure the future success of the company.

A first, and also previous, episode of The Big Opportunity features the Free Trade International Bridge at Los Indios.

“Our goal is to try to help business leaders and site selection consultants to better understand and appreciate this region,” says Garza. “Once these decision makers really see what makes Harlingen and this Texas–Mexico border region powerful, they’re going to want to be here.”

“We try to explore the kind of features and benefits that matter most to businesses,” adds Thomas. “We want to help companies find the right solutions that will assist them in becoming more successful.”
