The municipality of Lucas do Rio Verde is pursuing infrastructure development and international industrial engagement to support its agricultural sector.

In September 2026, the municipality presented a strategic logistics hub project at the Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong. This proposal includes an integrated distribution hub featuring a bypass for the BR 163 highway, new railway connections, a new airport, and the LRV Rail Hub Project, which aims to centralize railway operations, a dry port, and an export zone.

By October 2026, local efforts expanded to include sanitation upgrades and industrial interest. The Autonomous Water and Sewage Service (SAAE) invested R$ 1.7 million to increase container sanitation capabilities. Concurrently, the American grain storage manufacturer Sukup visited the region to evaluate establishing a local factory, citing the area’s strategic importance and high productivity in corn and soy production.
