Mesa sets its eyes on e-commerce with Mexico

As trade between the U.S, Mexico and Canada is debated in Mexico City as part of NAFTA negotiations, one Arizona city is working on a long-term, million-dollar project that would potentially increase direct trade with Mexico.
The Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority Board will vote Tuesday, Nov. 21, on a master development agreement with the company Mesa Skybridge for an infrastructure project at the airport.
The project, otherwise known as the Unified Cargo Processing Program and recently created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, if approved, would include a program to facilitate cargo processing for Mexico by bringing Mexican customs officials to the airport.
