“We’re not looking for any state money,” Doung Allison, RGV Desal
· Texas Border Business
Doug Allison, founder of U.S. Desalination, discussed the proposed RGV Desal marine desalination project at a press conference in McAllen. The facility aims to produce 50 million gallons of water daily, expandable to 120 million gallons, with an estimated cost of $1 billion, privately financed. Allison emphasized that environmental permitting is a significant challenge, and the project has garnered regional support beyond its initial scope. He addressed community concerns about marine life and stated that the project does not seek state funding. Engineering estimates for pipeline construction are still being developed, with local governments encouraged to seek grants for distribution infrastructure.
