The University of Texas at El Paso Border Region Modeling Project and the El Paso Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas have partnered to sponsor a forum that will address the regional economic outlook for 2013.
The 8th Border Economic Forum will cover major issues affecting real estate, banking, health care, automobile sales, transportation infrastructure, municipal water consumption and regional economic development in the Borderplex.

Speakers at the forum include a diverse array of economists and business leaders with in-depth knowledge of the regional economy, including Ted Houghton with the Texas Transportation Commission and Roberto Coronado with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
The forum will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16 at UTEP’s El Paso Natural Gas Conference Center, located across from the UTEP Library. A continental breakfast and lunch buffet will be provided. Tickets for the forum cost $30 per person.
