Building Maintenance
Jose "Pepe" Salinas Memorial Civic Center
One of the more unique and rewarding dimensions of this department is our management and maintenance of the city’s rental facilities. Although we oversee the maintenance of the administrative offices at city hall, parks and recreation administration, and the library, we provide rental facilities for a diverse variety of functions. Our most popular rental facility is the Pharr International Convention Center which is located on 3000 N. Cage. This facility is approximately 20,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 2,500 individuals. This facility was recently renovated and the perimeter was professionally landscaped. In addition to formal events such as weddings, other activities are hosted at this facility such as trade shows, arts and crafts, pageants, world class boxing, and concerts are held in this elegant facility.
The Jose “Pepe” Salinas Memorial Civic Center, which currently offices the parks and recreation department, is located on 1011 W. Kelly. This facility may accommodate up to 500 individuals and is approximately 8,500 square feet. This rental facility is primarily utilized for more intimate receptions such as luncheons and small dances. Although it is approximately 34 years old, it was recently renovated as well and the exterior landscaped. It was rededicated in 2003 in memory of one of Pharr’s more beloved citizens.
