Building Stronger Communities in the Heart of Rio South Texas

Exciting news for the City of Elsa and the Delta Region of Rio South Texas!

COSTEP Director of Economic Development, Rick Carrera, joined community leaders for the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Elsa Community Center — a modern space designed to bring together residents, businesses, and regional stakeholders.

Once completed, this facility will become a vital hub for local programs, collaboration, and civic engagement, reflecting the city’s vision of inclusive growth and community-driven progress.

The event brought together numerous regional stakeholders, a clear testament to the unifying power of community centers and their role in moving the Rio South Texas Region forward — one project, one connection, one neighborhood at a time.

Congratulations to the City of Elsa and the Elsa Economic Development Corporation on this milestone achievement. We look forward to celebrating the grand opening and witnessing the impact this new center will have on the lives and opportunities of local residents.

Rio South Texas Region. One Region. Two Countries. One Future.
