- Description
- The Big Apple. The Windy City. The City of Angels. A city’s nickname often reflects its history, identity, and place in the national conversation.
Deep in South Texas, there’s the Gateway City. For Laredo, that title stems from a simple reality: location, location, location.
Situated along one of the country’s busiest trade corridors, Laredo has grown into the country’s busiest inland port, and at times, the busiest port overall. Now, city leaders are proposing a new plan to gradually increase bridge tolls at Laredo’s international bridges, a move they say will continue to fund improvements, infrastructure projects, and continue to strengthen economic growth.
But, as with any major project, the proposal has sparked questions, concerns, and suggestions from all types of stakeholders.

In Laredo, what happens here doesn’t stay here. Because when it comes to trade, that’s the goal.
Our panel examines concerns over the city's proposed bridge toll plan, the growing debate over spending priorities, and whether Laredo is risking a golden-goose opportunity in global trade by wasteful spending and a growing bureaucracy.
