The plan requires an investment of 12,000 million
pesos
With the goal of preventing traffic and urban chaos in the new industrial zone being developed south of Mazatlán, local and State authorities have begun to draw a plan to coordinate the arrival of merchandize and industrial park logistics for Mazatlán’s refurbished port.
The director of strategic projects for Sinaloa, Francisco Labistida Gómez de la Torre, assured authorities and local business representatives at a meeting yesterday that the modernization of the port was just a question of time. Attending the meeting were Mayor Carlos Felton, leaders of business associations, members of Codesin and the director of the municipal institute of planning.
He told the meeting they have master development and cost benefit plans in place with which they can authorize the investment and the only thing to be done is an environmental study.
The amount of pesos to be invested has not changed since the original plan, said the strategic projects director. The plan requires an investment of 12,000 million pesos, of which 4,000 million pesos will come from federal funds and the remainder from private investors.
With respect to advances in the project, he said this year they will ask for 500 million pesos more than budgeted for the second stage of the dredging, but it will require a special petition to the Sinaloa federal deputies to include in the 2015 federal budget at least 1,000 million pesos for the project.
The modernization of the port is to include a 1,770 meter access road, 9.6 hectares for customs, a new safe harbor for fishermen, relocation of the Pemex terminals and new expanded container terminals.
