Last April 11th, Antonio Echevarría, Governor of Nayarit, visited Bahía de Banderas to meet with the different chambers of commerce and business organizations of the municipality to hold a working meeting of an informative nature and to listen to the needs, projects, developments and advances that each organization has.
The ADEPM arose to speak on behalf of businessmen, residents and developers of their concern on the urban regional disorder, the fragile security in the region, the alarming need for caring for the nature, the lack of water in the area and the deficient garbage collection which increase pollution levels
Taking this opportunity, the ADEPM brought to the table some very important issues such as:
The people of Sayulita were asking for an immediate and effective solution to the serious problem of wastewater pollution in the area, moving from being a Magic Town to being a public health hazard. The ADEPM recognized that several meetings had to be held with the municipality of Bahía de Banderas, Directors and representatives of Orompas, the State Secretariat of Tourism, the State Water Commission CEA, and finally with Conagua. The latter carried out a technical-justification study, financed by the institution which came with 9 solutions to this problem.
Resources for the fiscal year 2018 were committed in the amount of 32 million pesos. The investment was achieved and the Federation will contribute 50% while the other 50% will be contributed, half and half, by the State and the Municipality.
