On Saturday December 7th, Del Rio and San Angelo rotarians — as Rotary International members call themselves — made a cross-border trip to support the Rotary club of Ciudad Acuña’s “telemaratón Navideño”, or Christmas telethon, by contributing $1,700 USD.
A weather-worn “Westland World” sign is posted along public access Ranch Road 1024 in Val Verde County. Westland World marketing suggests the remote property is being transformed by international investors into a “smart city” with an exorbitant value of $32,000 per acre, but the designated area was almost indistinguishable from neighboring ranchland and showed no indication of infrastructure development.
