McAllen serves as a healthy advanced manufacturing community- with over 145,000 employees, a booming retail trade of over $17.5 billion per year, and the number one port-of-entry for a continuing tradition of agricultural products. McAllen is also home to a burgeoning medical industry supported by the new UTRGV School of Medicine and a year round tourism trade- bolstered by winter Texans - all which coalesce to form a strong economic base.
