On Friday, July 15, during his first annual government report, Marcos Aguilar, mayor of Queretaro stated that 1,423 companies have opened this year and other 23,633 businesses installed in the state have renewed their operating licenses, which reveals the competitiveness of the capital city and shows how the muncipality of Queretaro has transformed in a pole of development and investment.
Aguilar mentioned that in the second half of this year the arrival of more international companies dedicated to the automotive sector, such as Bosch and Ultra Manufacturing is expected. He pointed out that a good number of shopping centers such as Latitud La Victoria, Paseo Queretaro, Sfera City Center have been inaugurated, and also world class accomodations such as Hotel Presidente Intercontinental.
“An economic impact of 19 billion pesos (1 billion USD) is expected for our city, between real estate, industrial, corporate and commercial investments, which represents an unprecedented amount in Queretaro’s history,” said Aguilar Vega.
