Mara Lezama Reviews New Projects for Mahahual With Environmental Approval

Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama speaking at a press conference about new development projects in Mahahual

Mahahual, Quintana Roo — Governor Mara Lezama announced that after the cancellation of the Perfect Day project in Mahahual, the state government will continue analyzing new investment and development alternatives for the southern part of Quintana Roo, in coordination with the federal government and under environmental feasibility criteria.

“The goal is for projects to improve the quality of life of people… They will always be projects that bring well-being to the people,” the governor said.

Lezama said that various proposals related to urban infrastructure and social welfare are currently being reviewed, mainly for Mahahual and Cozumel, through analysis committees and councils.

She added that any potential rethinking of the Perfect Day project or other similar developments must first go through federal agencies, since environmental permits fall under federal jurisdiction.

The governor stressed that all projects must be evaluated with technical, environmental, and scientific criteria before moving forward.

Lezama also mentioned that the state is analyzing proposals related to sustainability and energy, including projects to use sargassum for biogas generation, but reiterated that only those with technical backing and environmental certifications will advance.
