The Starr County Industrial Foundation
(SCIF) consistently continues its efforts to
promote the economic development of Starr
County. Its on-going priority projects
continue to be the (1) Establishment of an
Industrial Park and the (2) Foreign Trade
Zone.
The proposed Industrial Park site con-
tinues to be-that land area north of the MP
Railroad to the northwest of the Griffin and
Brand produce processing Shed.
Negotiations are now underway to build a
county road across form US83 North across
the railroad to the proposed site. Sewage
and water lines are already in place
through the FHA Grant recieved by the
Starr County Water Control and Im-
provement District No. 2 and current plans
are now in progress to clear and develop two
acres of land on the proposed Industrial
park site to be sold to the Rio Contrast
Sewing Co., Inc. to establish its plant in that
location. Once this plant is established
proposed plans indicate that two shift would
be placed in operation employing some 225
Sewing Machine Operators in each shift, for
a possible total of 450 job opportunities.
The other Priority Project is SCIFs
Foreign Trade Zone to be established in the
Industrial Park site. An intensive effort is
now under way to speed-up the application
for a Foreign Trade Zone grant to the US
Foreign Trade Zones Board of the US Dept
of Commerceas soon as possible. However,
there may be a delay in this effort due to the
fact that new legislation may be necessary
to ascertain that SCIF receives its own
grant to establish its own General Foreign
Trade Zone and not a Sub-Zone of the
McAllen Foreign Trade Zone as originally
proposed.
Currently, SCIF is also involved in some
very interesting new projects: One is the
development of a Private Sector initiative
Program through the comprehensive
Employment and Training Act (CETA) Title
VII, Private Sector Opportunities for the
Economically Disadvantaged of the US
Department of labor. The purpose of Title
VII is to provide, through a variety of ap-
proaches, a closer relationship between the
business community and local CETA
Little League
Banquet Postponed
By Bruno Trevino,
programs in placing CETA eligible par-
ticipants into private sector jobs. Under
title VII SCIFreceived a small grant to ad-
minister, develop and establish a tri-county
Business Developemnt Program and a
Vocational Training Program in STARR,
ZAPATA and JIM HOGG Counties, this
Summer, during a four and a-half-month
period form May 15 through September 30,
1980.
SCIFs proposed program activities for
this project are: To develop and organize
two Business organizations Task Force, one
in Zapata and one in Jim Hogg county.
These two Business organizations are, an
Industrial Foundation for Zapata County,
which has already been established, and is
now in operation; for establishment in
Hebbronville by the Hebbronvillc Chamber
of Commerce. SCIF will also provide
outreach and referral services for the
Targeted Jobs Tax Credit Program which
gives employers a substantial income tax
reduction for hiring members of seven
target groups, such as youth, Veterans and
offenders. SCIF will also provide
management tools for the Business
Organizations.
