- $1 million in Public Works funds to the City of Mercedes, Texas, to construct critical road, water, and sewer infrastructure to support the development of a mixed-use commercial park at the 200-acre Technopolis Village in Mercedes. The improvements will serve as a catalyst for leveraging and linking technology innovators and the resources of local, higher education institutions with the private sector to expand the technology cluster in the Lower Rio Grande Valley region. This investment is part of a $1.7 million project that the grantee estimates will create 135 jobs and leverage $2.8 million in private investment.
