Marketplace (PM)
- Nov 10: Marketplace Reporter Elizabeth Trovall will look at how the explosion of cross-border trade through Laredo, TX is straining the roads, bridges and railways there – and check in on the current status of the new projects aimed at facilitating speedy trade. Cross border trade through Laredo has grown 40% in the past decade, which has increasingly strained the existing border infrastructure. Each year the number of cars on the border bridges increases around 4% – though in 2023, it’s up 6%. This growth is happening as a $40 million project to expand the World Trade Bridge is underway – a project that lawmakers are asking to expedite due to the strain.
- Nov 14: Marketplace reporter Elizabeth Trovall will visit a manufacturing facility in Nuevo Laredo and walk through the Mexico-US supply chain. This year Mexico became the top U.S. trading partner (in part due to Trump-era tariffs), and Mexico’s expanding manufacturing sector has been a promising alternative to China as the U.S. moves further towards nearshoring. Half of U.S. investment in Mexico currently goes towards manufacturing. Trovall will look at how that investment has created new manufacturing opportunities in Nuevo Laredo, and how what’s made in those factories will integrate into U.S. supply chain.
