Mazatlán council approves housing development, while Lázaro Cárdenas mayoral appointment stalls

The Mazatlán City Council voted in an extraordinary session to approve the Infonavit Terrazas housing project, which will add 1,480 homes across 93 four‑story buildings in the Genaro Estrada avenue area. The approval moves the development forward under municipal jurisdiction, aiming to support orderly urban growth and family welfare in the region.

In the neighboring state of Michoacán, the appointment of a provisional mayor for the municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas remains pending. Although the municipal council granted an indefinite leave to current mayor Manuel Esquivel Bejarano, the state Congress has not yet issued a consensus‑based decree, leaving the town without a permanent administrator beyond the legally allowed 30‑day interim period.
