Local EDC leads trade trip to Mexico

Who's up for a trip over to Mexico?

The Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. is leading a trade mission Nov. 7-12 to Mexico City and Guadalajara to generate trade opportunities for local businesses.

The group formerly known as the Committee of 100 is organizing the mission with the Tampa Port Authority, Enterprise Florida, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Commercial Service. Mexico is recognized as the nation's third-largest trading partner, behind China and Canada, with exports and imports totaling at least $3 billion last year.
