AIM Media Texas, the owner of the southernmost printing press in Texas, began outsourcing print operations to Reynosa in early September, about four months after announcing an impending sale of The Monitor building in McAllen to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

AIM Media owns the Rio Grande Valley’s most prominent newspapers — The Monitor, The Brownsville Herald, and the Valley Morning Star — and prints many other South Texas publications.

UTRGV purchase still pending

In May, the University of Texas Board of Regents authorized UTRGV to purchase The Monitor’s 88,970-square-foot building, which sits on about 10 acres of land at 1400 E. Nolana Ave.

According to UTRGV, that sale hasn’t closed yet.
