In early 2026, the municipality of Metepec in the State of Mexico reported significant economic growth, including the creation of 5,054 new jobs and the opening of 1,355 new economic units. Mayor Fernando Flores Fernández attributed these figures to streamlined administrative procedures and fiscally sound policies. To support the holiday season, the administration also implemented increased tourism security patrols in commercial and popular areas.

By late August 2026, the municipal administration received several national and international awards for its management and public services. These recognitions included the Local Government Innovation Distinction and the Tourism Excellence Award in Madrid. During the 53rd anniversary of the Institute of Public Administration of the State of Mexico (IAPEM), Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez presented the 2025 Municipal Management Awards, recognizing 37 projects from 29 municipalities for innovation and effectiveness. 

Metepec secured six distinctions during this ceremony, earning first-place honors for Municipal Normativity and the ‘Médico en tu Casa’ health program. Governor Gómez emphasized that professionalizing public servants is essential for strengthening institutions and ensuring government actions address the needs of families, proposing forums for award-winning local governments to share best practices.
