Mexico’s National Infrastructure Plan, announced in July 2007, presents over $250 billion in business opportunities for U.S. and Mexican firms through the year 2012. In addition to improving infrastructure, the Mexican Government sees these projects as important vehicles to stimulate economic growth in Mexico. A large portion of this plan involves port projects, both expansion of existing ports in addition to a megaproject called Punta Colonet.
These projects represent valuable business opportunities for U.S. primary contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, totaling at least $2 billion over the next two to three years. Punta Colonet, one of the largest greenfield projects ever attempted in Mexico, will require an initial investment of $4-5 billion.
