# Ramos Arizpe expands services, industry and infrastructure > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/automotive-expansion-in-ramos-arizpe-coahuila > Updated: 2026-08-04T20:52:15.000Z. Sources: 44. Developments: 23. By mid‑2026 Ramos Arizpe continued the multi‑sector expansion documented earlier. The municipal “En tu escuela tú eliges” program delivered projectors, speakers, printers and air‑conditioners to primary schools, reaching 61 deliveries and improving learning environments. Mayor Tomás Gutiérrez Merino highlighted education at a graduation ceremony and promoted free student‑transport routes, which by July provided over 660,000 rides and later delivered more than 60,000 free trips per month, linking families to schools and workplaces. Water infrastructure progressed with five new wells – Minerva 2, Analco 3, DIF, CETIS and San José 5 – two already operating and the others under construction, enhancing pressure and coverage in several neighborhoods. Commercial activity grew with the opening of a second Zapaterías FAMHI shoe store, creating direct and indirect jobs, while municipal crews upgraded street lighting across multiple colonies. A renovated Urbivilla plaza and a “Ramos Soccer Fest” featuring a World Cup screening demonstrated the focus on public‑space revitalisation. Sports and tourism received major investment: a new Recreational and Sports Complex, upgrades in San Gregorio, support for local teams, and the launch of Ramos Fest 2026 – a three‑day cultural and gastronomic event expected to attract 150 000 visitors. Summer workshops in arts, robotics and language were offered free at the Casa de la Cultura. The administration also signed an agreement with CFE to speed outage response and expand LED lighting, and rolled out inclusion programmes for visually‑impaired students and food‑aid parcels for seniors. IMSS reported 111,249 formal jobs in June, underscoring the city’s role as an industrial hub. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-04: Ramos Arizpe Free Student Transport Boosts Local Economy The free Ruta
