MISSION, Texas - Killam Development hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Mission, Texas, to celebrate the launch of the new Sharyland Business Park. This major industrial project, local officials say, will support job creation, logistics growth, and long-term regional development. The event was held on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the corner of Anzalduas Highway and Anzalduas Drive. The Mission Economic Development Corporation and the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce collaborated on the effort.

Mission Mayor Norie Garza González welcomed attendees by calling the opening “a dream come true for us here at the city.” She said her “heartfelt thoughts are gratitude for Killam Development choosing Mission to bring their investment”. She described the project as “an amazing, amazing project that’s going to open so many doors, so many opportunities for our residents… for generations to come.” She added, “We look forward to working alongside you for many, many, many years to come.”

Mission Economic Development Corporation CEO Teclo Garcia described the ribbon cutting as “a momentous occasion.” Garcia highlighted the long-standing relationship with Killam Development, saying, “We think the world of the Killam team and what they’re going to do here. And this is only the beginning.” He noted that the development area includes “thousands of acres and homes and commercial properties” planned for the region. He emphasized that Mission EDC is “very proud to be a partner of Killam.”

Representing neighboring McAllen, Ralph Garcia, COO of McAllen EDC, said the event marked “continued growth and opportunity in our region.” He thanked Mission, regional partners, and the Killam family for their investment. “Today’s ribbon cutting… represents progress, vision, a stronger future for the Rio Grande Valley,” he said. Garcia emphasized the park’s proximity to the Anzalduas International Bridge, noting it “provides unmatched logistic advantages for manufacturers and logistics users who rely on fast, secure, and efficient cross-border movement.” He credited partnerships among public and private stakeholders, saying they “are what make transformational projects like this possible.”

Killam Development President and CEO Cliff Killam described Mission as “a beautiful, sunny, blue sky” place and thanked partners for supporting the project. He stated that Killam Companies has served South Texas “for more than a hundred years” and remains in the region because of its “amazing people, culture, energy, and… enormous potential.”

Killam outlined details of the Sharyland Business Park, calling it “a 175-acre development with about $8 million invested in the infrastructure.” He said it will generate “about two and a half million square feet of industrial property,” representing “about $275 million of investment,” along with the jobs that follow. The park includes 15 lots ranging from four to 25 acres, and according to Killam, the company is “already seeing incredible traction with several lots under contract or of interest.”
