Sonoran Gov. Alfonso Durazo said during an event with Mexico’s president Sunday that she had approved an around $20 million project to build a new customs office at the San Luis Río Colorado Port of Entry into the United States.
The Sonoran town sits just south of the Arizona border, about 20 miles south of Yuma.
In 2024, the U.S. exported around $700 million worth of goods through that port of entry, according to the University of Arizona. That’s just a fraction of the amount that crosses through Nogales each year.
At the event with President Claudia Sheinbaum in the Sonoran port city of Guaymas, she and Durazo touted a slate of projects that they say will boost trade.
