Southwest Border Regional Commission - Economic and Infrastructure Development Grants is sponsored by SOUTHWEST BORDER REGIONAL COMMISSION. The mission of the Commission is to provide grant funding and programs to economically distressed and persistent poverty communities to carry out infrastructure improvements and economic development across the Southwest region, which encompasses some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. The federal-state partnership comprises the Federal Co-Chair and the four Governors of the participating States of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. From participating states, one Governor is selected as the State Co-Chair. The State Alternates’ offices are the coordinators for the Governors for SBRC investments. All activities funded by the SBRC must advance the Commission’s Five-Year Strategic Plan. The responsibility for the development of plans and programs authorized under the enabling statute is vested in the Commission. The Commission establishes general policies and procedures and the allocation of funds among the programs and states. SBRC activities and projects must align with one or more of the five strategic goals identified in the SBRC five-year strategic plan: (1) Addressing Barriers to Growth and Opportunity, (2) Amplify Regional Comparative Advantage, (3) Generate Workforce Development and Economic Mobility, (4) Build Economically Resilient and Self-Sustaining Communities, (5) Maximize Investment Efficiency and Impact.
