Pinal seeks ‘sister region’ status with Rocky Point
by Mark Cowling | Pinal Central
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors approved a proclamation seeking to establish a “sister region” relationship with Puerto Penasco, Sonora, also known as Rocky Point, Mexico, to increase economic opportunity and prosperity for both regions.
The proclamation notes Puerto Penasco Mayor Ernesto “Kiko” Munro recently visited with Pinal County staff to express his city’s desire to establish such a relationship, and Pinal County staff met with Puerto Penasco officials toward the same ends.
The proclamation further says Munro’s strategic projects positively align with Pinal County’s economic development plans in building industrial parks, strengthening ecotourism and health tourism, improving water delivery and improving law enforcement for safe tourism.
