Economic REcovery Office

The West Texas region is known for its mild climate and is poised for rapid growth.  This region enjoys the beautiful desert mountains and great sunsets.  Socorro is primed to capitalize on the growth given its strategic location on the US-Mexico border, three miles from the Ysleta Port of Entry, and access with coast-to-coast trade.

Socorro is located off I-10, and State Highway 20 (Alameda Ave.) within the El Paso metro area. It is perfectly situated as a distribution hub.  70% of the United States population is accessible within 48 hours of Socorro via highway travel!  In addition, Alameda Ave. and the new Nuevo Hueco Tanks Rd. provide redundant access to major distribution centers assuring the business community of uninterrupted logistics systems. Socorro is the fastest growing city in El Paso County, growing by over 5 % in the last four years.  It is in El Paso County and is the second-largest city with over 34,300 residents within the El Paso metro of over 865,000.

Socorro is a business-friendly community that encourages companies to relocate and thrive here! The low cost of living with a comfortable lifestyle encourages employees to make their homes here.

Socorro offers shovel-ready sites at the new Socorro Logistics Center, Quality of Place in the historic mission valley, and affordable housing in its new subdivisions off Nuevo Hueco Tanks Rd.  The city is ripe for bed and breakfast, mid-tier hotels, and retail development along its fast-growing corridors.  Incentives are available for key industries.  Site selectors should contact the Economic Recovery Coordinator for assistance.

We look forward to showing you why Socorro is a great place to locate and grow your business!
