The San Benito Economic Development Corporation is looking for a new director after the resignation of Fred Sandoval. This comes after Sandoval also resigned as city manager.

Palomo has previous experience as Pharr's main street coordinator. Details about Sandoval's resignation are limited, but it is known that he could not be reached for comment. Other city officials, including the mayor and EDC president, also did not respond to requests for comment.
