Twin plants lure workers to border city life
Paul Richard, a GE production control specialist, moved from Middletown to Del Rio with his wife Diane and three children in 1980 to join a Ciudad Acuna wiring device plant. They adapted to Del Rio’s slower pace, lower cost of living, and Bush-country leisure, noting friendlier locals and easier access, while missing oceanfront New England seafood and beaches. The family enrolled their sons in Del Rio Little League and their daughter prepared for prekindergarten, reflecting a broad shift of dual-border workers settling into Texas.
