Chihuahua Governor Reyes Baeza visits the Midland-Odessa Area

Chihuahua Governor Reyes Baeza stopped in the Midland-Odessa area earlier this year. Governor Baeza was on his way to New York to speak to the Association of The Americas regarding trade in North America and highlight accomplishments on the La Entrada al Pacifico Corridor.

Governor Baeza used the stop as an opportunity to utilize the U.S. Customs services offered at Midland International Airport and to see first-hand opportunities that are available utilizing the area’s Foreign Trade Zone.

In addition to his visit to the Permian Basin, Governor Baeza asked for MOTRAN representatives to serve as part of a working group he created with two officials from Sinaloa and two representatives of Chihuahua to work with different entities to solve logistics challenges that will make the corridor easier for businesses to utilize and more efficient for shippers.

The group is looking at a wide array of potential shippers along the various segments of the corridor. The group is also looking at infrastructure needs including the seaport, border crossings, and inland port facilities.
