Manufacturing by the bus-load

​​​BROWNSVILLE – Greyhound Lines Inc. will open a refurbishing and final assembly operation in Brownsville, creating more than 70 manufacturing jobs.

The company will start retrofitting a 68,000-sf facility at the BRO Airport Business Park in April 2018, and will begin hiring around the same time.

The new facility in Brownsville will refurbish the company’s entire fleet from the United States and part of their Mexican fleet as well.

Gilberto Salinas, interim executive director of the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation (GBIC), said the project is a $7.7 million annual boon to the Brownsville region.

Greyhound Lines is the largest North American provider of intercity bus transportation, serving more than 3,800 destinations across the continent.
