If you've driven through Weslaco recently, you might've noticed a lot of new housing popping up all over the city. In the last two years, more than a thousand acres of land in Weslaco has been turned into residential property. Weslaco Planning and Code Enforcement Director Rebekah De La Fuente has seen the growth first hand. "Before, we would probably get maybe 20 subdivisions a year," De La Fuente said. "Now, I'm getting three subdivisions a week." De La Fuente believes developers are flocking to Weslaco because it's conveniently located in the middle of the Valley.
