Tella’s Border Stamping Division in Brownsville specializes in stamping and forming parts for the automotive industry, and employs up to 40 skilled workers making $60,000 per year or more. The company operates two other divisions in Lombard, Ill., where it’s headquartered. Tella, which opened the Brownsville plant in 2001, also serves the aerospace, telecommunications and computer industries.Vela said he organized Wednesday’s event after getting a visit at his Washington D.C. office about a month and a half ago from Stuart Boba, Tella’s chief financial officer.“One of the things he brought up was that they have jobs available now and in the future, but that at times they have difficulty finding people that can match what they do here from a manufacturing standpoint,” Vela said.He said he decided it was a good idea to get the company’s people together with local education and workforce-development leaders to find a solution...
The ports range from the mega-sized Port of Brownsville, to the smaller Port of Harlingen and Port-Isabel-San Benito Navigation District, and Port Mansfield in WillacyCounty...A second issue is the low cost of a barrel of crude oil, which has depressed oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico, and forced layoffs in oil exploration firms and support companies, which long have operated out of Texas ports to serve offshore drillers.The third issue mentioned by all the port directors was how to diversify their operations to attract new businesses.

Drainage: people really don’t think about it until the floodwater creeps up on them.The Rio GrandeValley experienced its worst flooding in modern-day history in 1967, when Hurricane Beulah hit. The Category 3 hurricane unleashed a torrential downpour that brought with it more than 160 mph winds and caused more than $1.2 billion in damages across the area.
Where is Enterprise going for decommissioning? 8 sub sized reactors, instead of a Nimitz classes 2 bigger reactors. Gonna be a huge mess to handle.
Newport News Shipbuilding will deactivate and de-fuel the ship, which will then be formally decommissioned once all nuclear fuel has been removed. The process started at the downtown piers in Newport News in order to set the conditions required in the propulsion plant for fuel removal. Huntington Ingalls Industries moved the ship on Saturday, 4 May 2015 from Pier 2 to her original birthplace, Dry Dock 11. Newport News employees will continue the defueling process in the dry dock.Once the Navy completes fuel removal, the ship will be placed in long term storage pending reviews of technical and environmental procedures on how to properly dispose of the carrier.

I was only thinking of the highly skilled workforce which presumably doesn't want to be relocated to boca chica.
As a young adult living in Brownsville, you can really enjoy the outdoors and year-round warm weather. This means you can go to the beach with your friends and hang out and have a great time. If Boca Chica beach does nothing for you, there’s South Padre Island with its many restaurants, bars, hotels and water parks. The fishing is also excellent, whether one goes surf fishing, bay fishing or deep sea fishing. There’s surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing. In fact, SPI is considered one of the top destinations in the world for these activities because of the shallow flats behind the convention center. Brownsville also has many outdoor trails for running, hiking or biking. In the fall, there’s white wing hunting and all kinds of other hunting. There are parks and sport parks. There’s soccer leagues. Midnight basketball leagues. There’s museums, restaurants and coffee shops. Find yourself a senorita and you’ll learn to speak Spanish “pronto,” and vice versa. There’s great Mexican food you won’t find anywhere else like menudo, barbacoa, cabrito, and the best fajitas hands down! And to wash it all down, there’s all kinds of Mexican beer. On Friday nights, you and your date can catch one of the many High School football games going on around town. You can also catch some, if not “the Best,” High School soccer in the entire State of Texas. We have excellent soccer players. Our High Schools have won many soccer state championships. The soccer games are super exciting, especially when our kids go up against some of the best in the State. Oh, and don’t forget, the people. Brownsville has the friendliest people in Texas. Oh, and don’t forget good-books radio. And if you are not a beach person, there’s the mall, shopping, even a flea market and a farmer’s market. I could go on and on and on….
