Governor of Marligantos held a meeting with local government officials to discuss the regional development strategy
3 August 5661



In the gubernatorial residence in Gadur City, Marligantos' governor Ahtziri Zamora has convened mayors, municipal representatives, as well as the federal deputies representing the state, to discuss and outline the statewide development strategy for the next five years beginning from the 5662. According to the governor herself, who would hold a press conference following the meeting in front of the Palacio dos Arzamendis, the strategy Zamora proposed to the local government officials concerned the economic and infrastructure development, through the investment in the regional railway network, connecting CDG with other major settlements and municipalities of the state with a circular route around the Marligantos.

"Obviously, that is something we will have to discuss with both the state as well as the federal railway companies and regulators, to be able to develop a clear action plan", said Governor Zamora. "Right before the meeting with the gonourable mayors and deputies, I had the privilege of talking to the Prime Minister García on the issue, and she gave me a clear signal that the federal government will support any initiative coming from us, or any other state that will aim at making people's lives better, and I am very grateful to Madam García for that."

Mayor of Rosaleda, Zaira Ocotlana Bojorquez, said that during the meeting, she and other representatives raised an issue of geographical problems that any major infrastructure project like this could face on the Marligantos island, which is extremely mountainous and unstable land, as the island formed from the currently inactive volcano. "In a discussion with Governor Zamora, we wanted to make sure that any infrastructure development is made for the people, in accordance with the law and safety rules, as well as making them prone to any earthquake damage that may occur at any point in the future, and gladly, Mrs. Zamora assured us that everything will be made accordingly", Bojorquez said.

Governor Zamora announced that a public consultation phase will begin later this month, with town halls and online platforms to gather feedback from residents, business owners, and civic groups. A final version of the strategy is expected to be approved by the state Congress by October this year.
