Governor Samuel Garcia stated that the Government of Mexico will contribute between 1.5 and 2 billion pesos to each entity, specifying that the funds are for infrastructure, primarily public transport and mobility, including the Metro in Monterrey. He detailed the Top 10 of the 34 infrastructure projects underway in Nuevo León, highlighting the construction of the continent's longest monorail with Metro Lines 4 and 6. He added that the majority of these projects are moving forward thanks to the efficiency of the Federal Government in accelerating processes. President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that the Federation's commitment is to support each host city with 2 billion pesos to boost public transport and mobility for the 2026 World Cup. Governor Garcia emphasized that Nuevo León is investing these funds in public works to create a lasting legacy beyond the World Cup, calling it the 'new Nuevo León.' He noted this is the largest public works project in the state's history, employing 4,000 people and doubling the Metro system's length from 38 to over 80 kilometers with the new Lines 4 and 6. Other projects include the Torre Risez skyscraper, the Airport station, the modernization of Line 1, the addition of 4,000 new sustainable buses, 500 new bus stops, and significant security enhancements. Furthermore, the construction of 11 new parks was announced, including a 6.1-kilometer linear park and the Malecon de la Presa de La Boca.
