Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda met with Baja California’s business sector to discuss progress in financial matters, infrastructure, as well as the actions and efforts undertaken to address the energy challenges facing the state.

During the plenary session between the State Government and the State Technical Committee of Baja California’s Business Coordinating Councils, the governor emphasized that, in her three and a half years in office, more has been invested in infrastructure than in the three previous state administrations, significantly reducing the backlog in public works.

“Manufacturing production grew by 49.7% compared to the previous year, and in the same period, Baja California attracted 857 million dollars in foreign direct investment, ranking fourth nationally in capital attraction,” she stated.

Among the flagship projects mentioned were the Elevated Viaduct, the wastewater treatment plant in San Antonio de los Buenos, the Otay II Port of Entry, as well as progress on the construction of the desalination plant in Rosarito, which is projected to be one of the most important in Latin America.

Addressing concerns raised by the business sector, the governor clarified that Baja California is not facing an energy shortage but rather a transmission challenge, which is being addressed in coordination with the federal government. To date, 10 working meetings have been held.
