I want to thank them because their work was necessary to achieve this. This is a project with a vision for the city,” the business leader said.

Mayor Montserrat Caballero reiterated his open door and teamwork policy with the business sector to move forward regarding common issues, working together regarding prevention work and promotion of apps such as Botón de Emergencia and Botón Morado for greater public security, and consolidating Parque de las Abejas which is a project for everyone.
In addition, they agreed to establish a permanent work council to carry out strategic projects in 2024, increasing competitiveness in Tijuana according to the frameworks given by the Mexican Institute of Competitiveness (IMCO), whose 2023 competitiveness index was consulted and analyzed in this meeting.
“We have worked hand in hand and here are the projects, words that mean something, that become true. We said we were going to work on Calle 12, and there it is; that we were going to build a brake ramp, and there it is. We have worked very hard to not raise taxes and every time we work something with the Income and Expenses Law, we participate. It is great to end the year this way and we will begin January with these work councils,” Caballero Ramírez stated.
