Celebrating 14th Texas Governor´s Cup, and the Partnership That Powers It

This morning, COSTEP CEO Adam Gonzalez had the honor of attending the Texas Independence Day celebration where Site Selection Magazine once again presented Governor Greg Abbott with the Governor’s Cup, marking 14 consecutive wins and 22 overall for Texas.

This recognition reflects measurable performance: real corporate relocations, real expansions, real jobs. Fourteen years of national leadership is not coincidence. It is the result of disciplined execution, statewide coordination, and long-term economic vision.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Governor’s Office and to the Texas Economic Development Corporation (TxEDC) for their unwavering commitment to keeping Texas the most competitive state for business in the nation. Under the leadership of Governor Greg Abbott and Adriana Cruz, Executive Director of the Governor’s Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office, Texas continues to demonstrate what strategic alignment between state and local partners can accomplish.

For Rio South Texas Region, this leadership matters.

Statewide competitiveness strengthens our border communities. Strategic trade policy strengthens our ports of entry. Pro-business execution strengthens our ability to attract manufacturing, logistics, and international investment.

The success of Texas amplifies the success of Rio South Texas Region.

We are proud to work alongside TxEDC and the Governor’s Office to advance projects that create jobs, expand opportunity, and reinforce Texas’ position as the premier gateway for binational growth.

When Texas leads, regions like ours accelerate.

Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust in communities across the state, including Rio South Texas Region.
