Confirmed: @AzCities annual conference was the place to be! Lunch was jammed, easily over 1,000 attendees. And so cool to say hello to many more friends, including @gregstantonaz, a leader that always fights for Arizona.

As usual, @SteveTrussell3 did a fantastic job leading a discussion during @AzCities on the mining industry- how today’s miners are essential to national security, dedicated to deploying technologies to minimize impacts, working with stakeholders to ensure that benefits stay local

Mayor Grijalva @cityofdouglasaz at @AzCities conference shares his efforts to engage w/community, build strong partnerships w/key cities in Sonora & hosting events that make Douglas a destination. Combined w/investment in the new port of entry, means exciting things for Douglas!

Great to see so many friends at @AzCities: fantastic turnout, excellent and timely discussions, and leaders sharing best-practices for growth, economic development, meeting future energy needs, and adopting new and sustainable technologies.

Algunas de las presas más importantes en la frontera entre México y EE. UU. se encuentran en niveles muy bajos. En los estados de Sonora y Chihuahua se observa una severa escasez de agua ya que la mayoría de las presas operan con menos del 25 % de su capacidad. Es fundamental

Hearing from the experts, seeing trade in motion, and “kicking the dirt” at the construction site helped provide a realistic image of the importance of @cityofdouglasaz and ports of entry for Arizona and the 🇺🇸.

Once again #skyislandspartnership visited Douglas for their Border Day to hear about all the exciting news/investment coming to @cityofdouglasaz, over $650 million on the Two-Port solution. The visit to the construction site was a real highlight where the new port will be built
