LAREDO — Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson, in coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation, convened a meeting of the Border Trade Advisory Committee (BTAC) in Laredo yesterday.
“International trade and commerce are powerful drivers of the Texas economy, and you can see that firsthand through the activity and vibrancy of this area," Nelson said. “After hosting the last BTAC meeting in Austin, it was important to hold this meeting at the border.”
The committee heard presentations on regional infrastructure and planning efforts from both Texan and Mexican officials in addition to reports from private-sector partners.
BTAC is composed of public and private sector stakeholders from throughout the Texas-Mexico border region who work collaboratively to address cross-border infrastructure challenges and facilitate safe, secure and efficient international commerce.
