The work of private investment in Puerto Peñasco has been fulfilled, therefore the great challenge to be overcome is that of assuring that the people of this city live better and so that is where efforts of the state government will be focused, recently affirmed Sonora Governor Eduardo Bours Castelo.

After pointing out that the federal and state levels of government were able to generate investments of nearly 4 billion pesos, from both public and private investment, the Sonora governor indicated that the next step is to put things in order.

He remarked that the goal is that of achieving that population growth, which is estimated to spark from 40,000 to 170,000 in the short-term, does not result in a "bottle-neck" that halts current development.

Bours Castelo considered that things are going well for Peñasco, yet they must seek for manners so that the population growth has sewage, water, paved streets, housing and all that is necessary to live better.

He remarked that tourist development is natural and practically occurs on its own, however the great challenge is not to neglect the people. Therefore, his administration will focus on people within the community of Peñasco, as in other areas the work has already been done, even beyond that of other "budding" tourist destinations such as the Riviera Maya and Cancun.

The head of state declared that they wish to achieve first-rate development, yet they also want the community to live in first-rate areas, strategies which are already underway.
