Ramos Arizpe expands infrastructure and economic development
Overview
By late October 2026, Ramos Arizpe continued to advance its economic and social infrastructure. Mayor Tomás Gutiérrez Merino announced projections of $1.4 billion in new business investments, expected to create approximately 7,000 jobs. The municipality, which hosts 15 industrial parks, also addressed public health and social needs through over 150 fumigation sessions to combat rickettsiosis and dengue, and the construction of a specialized addiction rehabilitation center in the Escorial neighborhood.
Social services have expanded through the DIF Ramos Arizpe, which strengthened support for elderly residents via physical rehabilitation, psychological support, and food assistance. The Basic Rehabilitation Unit (UBR) expanded its consultation rooms from three to five through a partnership with Coahuila DIF and Corporativo OXXO, receiving new therapeutic equipment. This expansion helped reduce disability service waiting lists from 170 to approximately 30 people.
New social and environmental initiatives include the ‘Mercadito Pa’ Delante’ program in Ejido Hipólito, allowing residents to exchange recyclables for essential goods. To support local families, the “Todos por Más, Agua al Corriente” program offers 50 percent discounts for residential water users and 25 percent for certain commercial users when paying in a single installment.
Economic and community development efforts have also expanded to include entrepreneurship training. In coordination with ICATEC, the municipal government facilitated the graduation of over 1,000 individuals, including 500 women, through 56 productive workshops covering skills such as garment making, pastry, and computing. Additionally, the city is rehabilitating public plazas in the Haciendas III and Analco I neighborhoods to improve community recreation.
