The manager pointed out that some businessmen of the agency are analyzing this possibility for expansion or development of new complexes, considering it as a strategy that can be exploited locally.

"Well, we are not surprised that next year we begin to see companies that begin to grow upwards, especially those with light processes," said the manager.

The entity's Economic and Industrial Development Association estimates that Tijuana will have almost 5.4 million square feet of total leasable area for industrial space in the next two years.

Contreras indicated that urban infrastructure will continue to be one of the important challenges in the entity, although only for some areas since there are more advanced industrial corridors in these areas such as TAE, Mérida UMAN, Escobedo.
