The Governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García Sepúlveda, disclosed that the groundbreaking ceremony for Tesla Gigafactory Mexico is anticipated to occur in March. Initially slated for this month, the event was rescheduled due to ongoing permit issues, as reported by Milenio.
While Governor García’s announcement outlines a tentative schedule for the Gigafactory’s groundbreaking, uncertainties persist. He revealed that certain permit-issuing departments have sought extensions, citing concerns such as electrical, water, and environmental considerations, attributed to the factory’s potentially larger scope than anticipated.
Despite challenges, construction efforts on surrounding infrastructure, notably the Monterrey-Saltillio Highway expansion, are underway to accommodate the forthcoming Tesla District. However, apprehensions about the Gigafactory’s impact, particularly on local businesses and the environment, have surfaced, mirroring sentiments seen in other regions hosting Tesla projects.
The government of Nuevo León remains committed to supporting Tesla’s endeavors while addressing community concerns and ensuring sustainable development practices. As preparations continue, stakeholders anticipate Tesla’s arrival in the region, marking a significant milestone in Mexico’s automotive and clean energy landscape.
