Killam Development and elected and community leaders celebrated the groundbreaking of a new 175-acre industrial park known as Sharyland Business Park on Monday, May 2 , 2022.
The development will attract manufacturing, logistics, cold storage, and distribution facilities along with hundreds of new jobs and economic development opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley. This development was made possible through a historic public-private partnership between Killam Development, the City of Mission, Hidalgo County, Mission Economic Development Corporation, and the U.S. Economic Development Administration, which authorized a $3 million grant to fund infrastructure improvements on the property in 2020.
The Business Park is part of a 3,400-acre property under development by Killam Development that will also include new housing, commercial and retail, green space, hike and bike trails, and other amenities. Killam Development is a private, family-owned business that has been proudly serving South Texas for more than 100 years.
Cliffe Killam, President of Killam Development was present during the ceremony. Congressman Henry Cuellar, Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez, Mayor Armando O’Caña, City of Mission City Manager Randy Perez, City of Mission, Daniel Silva, CEO of Mission Economic Development Corporation all attended to this unique development.
The site for the future development is located on Southwest Corner of Old Military Highway at Anzalduas Highway.
