Rio Grande Valley US Border Patrol Sector Headquarters, Edinburg, Texas, Environmental Assessment

   The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is preparing an environmental analysis to construct a U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) sector headquarters facility in the Rio Grande Valley. This Environmental Assessment was prepared to analyze alternatives and address their potential project impacts to the environment. The project consists of construction of a new office complex to replace the McAllen Sector Headquarters. Current and future missions of the CBP and the USBP require an increase in personnel and a facility complex that will support buildings for Administrative Services, Management, Enforcement, a dog kennel and an exercise facility.
