City of Pharr Leads the Way for Other Cities with its Public Safety Initiatives and Enhancements
Published: January 31, 2020
Pharr, Texas is a city on the move. In 2019, the City of Pharr completed several key projects, including road and drainage infrastructure improvements, renovating parks, and developing a new state-of-the-art Public Safety Communications Building and data center. But perhaps one of the city’s largest responsibilities is the operation of the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, which is the country’s busiest bridge for moving produce between the U.S. and Mexico. In fact, more than 175,000 vehicles traverse the bridge each month and almost 70 percent of the nation’s produce crosses through there.
