The
municipality of Irapuato reported about 2,500 million pesos as part of 30
investment projects of national and foreign capital, same that were reflected
on different sectors such as the automotive, real estate and of services, thus
was announced by Luis Hernandez, general director of Economic Development of
Irapuato.
He noted that
the arrival of new companies will generate about 5,000 direct jobs, as he
anticipated that there are observed at least seven projects of foreign
investment.
“We have the
report that the adequacy of spaces for companies continues on several
industrial parks for companies about to start the construction of their plants,
many of them will be the first ones in Latin America, that is why we are
assured that the investment and projects will continue during the upcoming
years,” he said.
He noted that
most of these investments come from national capital, but also from Japanese
and European, same that will be settled during this year and that sum more than
2,500 million pesos.
However, he
noted that with these investments are also investment projects on hotels,
restaurants and at least two shopping centers of great dimension, as foreign
population has increased on this municipality, as well as the number of
inhabitants, since the arrival of people from different municipalities of the
state of Guanajuato and States from the northern area of the country is
registered.
Likewise, he
determined that the growth towards the northern part of the city has rebounded
with the arrival of companies but also of the creation of residential complexes
to face the housing demand in the city.
REBOUND ON TRADITIONAL SECTORS
Even though,
Luis Hernandez said that one of the main activities in Irapuato, is commerce,
this has unchained that many companies dedicated to market a product see the
opportunity of joining the services suppliers’ chain for any institution,
Government office, but also for national and international companies.
He emphasized that he knows that about 2,500 Japanese
live in the entity, from which 50 % are settled in Irapuato, therefore it is
very important to bet on improving the services addressed to this foreign community
specifically.
He noted that the growing dynamic in the services
sector will continue, mainly in the northern area that will have a rebound with
the opening of the Fourth Vial Belt, and the improvement of roads.
Likewise, he explained that other areas that have been
attractive for industrial parks’ developers are the southern area and the exit
Abasolo, since it represents an exponential growth together with the attraction
of industrial investment.
