In the early 1970s, Hunt acquired 6,000 acres as agricultural property in the Rio Grande Valley along the border of Texas and Mexico. The passing of the North American Free Trade Agreement spurred the development of the Sharyland Business Park, which broke ground in 1998. Today, Sharyland Plantation is one of the largest master-planned, mixed-use developments on the Texas-Mexico border and includes industrial, residential, commercial and recreational uses.
