The McAllen Foreign Trade Zone joined USDA today for the historic groundbreaking of a sterile fly production facility at Moore Air Base. This 350,000-square-foot facility represents a $750 million investment first of its kind in South Texas, producing up to 100 million sterile flies each week to safeguard America’s livestock from the New World Screwworm.

The ceremony was led by Brooke Rollins with Senator John Cornyn, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

Thank you to Secretary Rollings for helping make this historic project a win for South Texas and the nation.
