As a result of the visit of Guatemalan businessmen to Mérida for the Convention of the National Chamber of the Transformation Industry, the installation of a metallurgical firm in our city is planned, confirmed Renán Barrera, municipal president of Mérida.
He explained that, as part of the work meeting held in this city, it was reported that a group of Central American businessmen will soon visit Merida to learn about its potential and establish the possibility of opening new investment opportunities, as well as to reach strategic agreements with local businessmen to create partnerships and economic projects.
Renan Barrera attended this morning the delivery of vehicular equipment for municipal agencies at ANIMAYA Animal Park. There he spoke with representatives of the media and pointed out that the Canacintra businessmen’s meeting was important because it opened up a series of conditions for industrialists to look at the opportunities in our city and be able to make investments in our state.
He informed that next week he will travel to the capital of the country to a meeting with federal legislators to present the budget requirements for 2023. He said that the meeting will be open to municipal presidents from all over the country, through the Association of Capital Cities, to make congressmen aware of the requirements of the country’s cities.
He emphasized that in 2022 the budget for the city of Merida was close to 5 billion pesos, but due to the conditions of growth and service requirements, it is foreseeable that this will increase, and therefore, the need to dialogue with legislators and that greater resources can be allocated to developing cities, he said.
