Río Grande municipal development projects

In early July 2026, Río Grande ran a week‑long community programme that toured residents through local food producers, technology manufacturers and a coffee roaster, while a school science‑fair used sensory activities to explore city landmarks and accessibility.

Mayor Martín Pérez then unveiled a high‑tech Urban Monitoring Center funded with nearly 80 million pesos, linking more than 70 surveillance stations, a video‑wall and a citizen‑service line with a WhatsApp chatbot and digital portal to improve safety and public‑space upkeep.

Late July saw the municipality broaden its portfolio: a Primary Care Specialty Management workshop (psychiatry, otolaryngology, urology) supported primary‑care physicians; the Secretariat of Productive Development and the Municipal School of Entrepreneurs offered a navigation‑training course for safe maritime practice; the “Conociendo el Motor Productivo Local” cycle took residents to firms such as Vitalcan to showcase production, innovation and circular‑economy initiatives; and the Gender and Community Development Secretariat continued its “Rondas para Construir Futuro Juntas” workshops on personal value, budgeting and income generation for women and gender‑diverse participants.

New updates from July 24‑27 confirm the continuation of the Primary Care workshop on 1 August with Dr. Agustín Perez, Dr. Joaquín Randón and Dr. Marcelo Oliva, and ongoing navigation training sessions. The industry showcase cycle concluded with further visits to Vitalcan, reinforcing the city’s industrial diversity. In partnership with Fundación Mirgor, the municipality launched twelve vocational and entrepreneurship workshops for the second half of 2026, covering electricity certification, appliance repair, textile design and other trades to provide rapid employment or self‑employment opportunities.
