Guadalajara, Jalisco. The Association of Industrial Parks of the State of Jalisco (APIEJ), together with the Secretariat of Economic Development (SEDECO), concluded the fourth session of the State Crusade for the Development of Industrial Parks. On this occasion, the topic was the “Reorganization of the Territorial Reserve”; together with state and municipal authorities, the different zones destined for industrial growth were discussed, as well as the infrastructure and mobility plans that are contemplated in the short and medium term. The intention of this presentation is for developers to be able to speed up their decision making regarding the locations of the next industrial parks they may want to build.
At the beginning of the session, we heard from Congresswoman Gabriela Cárdenas the legislative advances regarding the new law to regulate the activities of real estate consultants and brokers, which aims to provide certainty that by working with certified real estate agents, the risks of falling victim to the commission of crimes and fraud are minimized. In addition, the Congresswoman emphasized the fundamental role that industrial development plays in Jalisco’s economy and the importance of promoting spaces such as this session for the reorganization and territorial reserve, since the government of Jalisco is also working on the development of industrial and technological poles, since the launching of the public policy known as the Jalisco Tech-Hub Act.
Additionally, IMEPLAN presented the POTmet, a land-use planning instrument for the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. This guide aims to determine the usefulness of the territory for the industrial sector, according to the concentration and dispersion of existing industry, accessibility, topography, urban services, land prices, availability of labor, among other variables.
Finally, the municipalities of El Salto, Tonalá, Tlajomulco, and Zapopan presented their current situation in terms of infrastructure and land reserves, as well as their projects and initiatives that will be implemented in the short and medium term to meet the needs of mobility, accessibility, available land, and administrative procedures derived from the rapid growth of industrial development.
All of this is aimed at taking advantage of the opportunities that nearshoring will bring, where the existing and yet to be developed industrial infrastructure are key factors to continue attracting foreign direct investment to the State.
