With an investment of 216 million pesos (mdp) , Marcelo Ebrard, head of the Ministry of Economy (SE) , gave progress on the Economic Development Pole for Well-being (Podebi), Bajío Industrial Park, in Zinapécuaro , with which it is sought to reindustrialize this region.
Ebrard indicated that the formalization phase is complete and that the investment will be allocated to public works, primarily hydraulic and logistical infrastructure such as road and rail access . He specified that the private investment will amount to 2.71 billion pesos .
“This is starting now, the hydraulics are already working and the other works will be completed in March and April,” the federal official stated at the morning press conference this Friday, held in Michoacán, where he specified that the project covers an area of 333 hectares.
He announced that in May, chambers of commerce and industry from several countries will visit the industrial park, which he will use as an opportunity to promote investment. He also announced that on February 16, Canadian officials, accompanied by representatives from 231 companies, will arrive in Mexico to be presented with the park as an investment opportunity.
At the event, he highlighted that investment promotion committees have already been established in Uruapan, Lázaro Cárdenas and Apatzingán , in addition to working on trademark and patent registrations to strengthen the competitiveness of local products in international trade, such as avocados.
“We are organizing, we have already held trade fairs, but for the second half of the year we will have a presence from Michoacán in the United States, we are going to tour several points in the United States,” he said.
According to the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) , this hub occupies a geostrategic position within the central-western economic corridor of Mexico. It borders Guanajuato, allowing it to be integrated into a dynamic economic and industrial zone linked to the Bajío region and the Valley of Mexico.

It is worth remembering that of the 14 planned poles, seven are already under construction, four will begin construction in the coming weeks, and three will be added to the construction.
