Nogales council approves Hermosillo trip; mayor to meet Sonoran officials on flood concerns
Summary
The council approved representatives to attend the Arizona–Mexico Commission National Economic Development Committee plenary in Hermosillo June 24–25, 2026; Mayor Jorge Maldonado said he will travel a day early to meet the Sonoran governor and the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, to discuss floodwaters through the 'Kinsini.'
The Nogales mayor and council voted to approve travel to the Arizona–Mexico Commission National Economic Development Committee plenary in Hermosillo, Sonora, scheduled for June 24–25, 2026.
Council members discussed which elected officials would attend; several names were raised during the discussion but attendance confirmations were pending. One councilmember said it is important Nogales be represented at the commission meeting. The vice mayor indicated a scheduling conflict and said they could not attend.
Mayor Jorge Maldonado said he plans to travel one day earlier to meet with the governor and with the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, to discuss floodwaters that "come through the Kinsini." "So that is one of the main reasons I'm going one day before," the mayor said.
A motion to approve sending representatives to the commission meeting was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The Arizona–Mexico Commission is a venue for cross‑border discussion on economic development and shared infrastructure; the mayor’s planned meeting on cross‑border floodwaters signals a focus on binational infrastructure concerns ahead of the plenary.
