Major investments are coming to Jalisco. With $2.8 billion committed, the state will see unprecedented industrial growth, generating more than 28,000 jobs.
Jalisco is preparing to receive a significant injection of investments that will strengthen its industrial and economic sectors in the coming years.
Antonio Lancaster Jones, coordinator of the Council of Industrial Chambers of Jalisco (CCIJ), highlighted that this investment will generate more than 28,000 jobs in the state. However, he noted that many of these jobs will be focused on technical and automated areas, indicating a strong commitment to innovation and robotics.
During the meeting, key issues were also discussed to ensure the success of these investments, such as the need to improve water and energy supply. To address the water issue, the construction of a mega treatment plant was proposed, which will require an initial investment of at least 500 million pesos. This initiative, along with improvements in road infrastructure and physical and legal security, will be crucial to attract and maintain long-term investments.
New Industrial Corridor: El Roble Industrial Park
El Roble Industrial Park will not only have industrial buildings and warehouses but also a modern shopping center that promises to generate a positive economic impact in the region. Jahaziel Castañeda González, vice president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) in Guadalajara, explained that this development will attract national and foreign investments, driven by the boom in nearshoring and the modernization of Guadalajara’s airport, which is on its way to becoming the main air cargo destination in Latin America.
This new industrial park will generate around 2,000 direct and indirect jobs, positively impacting nearby communities such as La Calera, Cajititlán, and Zapotlanejo, among others, benefiting more than 265,000 inhabitants. Additionally, the project will contribute to strengthening tax collection at both the municipal and state levels and will improve the quality of life for residents by creating new job opportunities.
With these developments, Jalisco reaffirms its role as a key economic engine for Mexico, positioning itself as an attractive destination for industrial investment on a global scale.
