Weslaco's Growth: Inclusivity, Business, and a Thriving Economy

Weslaco is making strides in accessibility and economic growth in 2025. One of its most heartwarming developments is the new inclusive Glider at Gibson Park, designed for children with disabilities, ensuring all children can enjoy recreational opportunities.

The city’s economy is thriving with the opening of a Walmart gas station and a record-high sales tax collection in February, reflecting strong local business growth.

Recently, Weslaco welcomed Zacatecas as a sister city, and the Weslaco Fire Department provided bunker equipment to their sister city, Rio Bravo.

A milestone moment was celebrated with a ribbon cutting at the Cleckler-Heald RDF, which will help relieve flooding in surrounding homes and improve drainage infrastructure. This new development further bolsters Weslaco’s commitment to sustainability and growth.
