How the Rio South Texas Region Accelerates Softlanding for International Companies
December 3, 2025Where Border Advantage Meets Industrial Opportunity
In the Rio South Texas Region, Roma stands out as a bicultural, history-rich city where tradition, commerce, and cross-border synergy come together. Founded in 1765, Roma has long served as a gateway between nations, and today, it remains a vital connector for people, goods, and industries across the U.S.–Mexico corridor.
Separated only by the Rio Grande, and deeply united by community, Roma and its sister city, Miguel Alemán, Tamaulipas, form a seamless bilingual, binational ecosystem. More than 750,000 people cross annually through Roma’s port of entry, strengthening its role as a strategic hub for international trade.
A City Positioned for Growth
Through the Roma Economic Development Corporation, the city has evolved into a catalyst for economic and community development, supporting projects that elevate competitiveness and expand industrial capacity. Roma offers key advantages for investors and industrial operators:
- Unified Cargo Processing for 100% of commodities and importers
- Highly competitive land costs within heavy-industrial-zoned subdivisions
- A privileged border location directly connected to major commercial corridors in both Mexico and the United States.
Las Americas Roma Logistics & Industrial Park
The rapid increase in commercial operations over the past five years has made one thing clear: demand for cold storage and dry warehouses is rising fast.
To meet this demand, Roma EDC has acquired 320 acres along FM 650 to develop a new heavy-industrial-zoned subdivision designed for companies looking to lease, purchase, or develop industrial facilities. This initiative strengthens Roma’s position as a strategic logistics and manufacturing destination for global supply chains.
Shorter Travel Times. Stronger Connections.
Roma’s port of entry is the closest and most accessible for companies operating in the Monterrey metropolitan area. Connected via Highway 54, the city offers a direct transportation link between Monterrey’s industrial cluster and the Ribereña Highway (Federal Highway 2), providing seamless access to the United States.
