The Fresh Produce Association of the Americas (FPAA) celebrated the groundbreaking of a massive overhaul to State Route 189 in Nogales, Ariz. SR 189, also known as Mariposa Road, is the main thoroughfare for trucks crossing the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales and heading northbound on 1-19 to area warehouses. The funding package leverages state, federal, city and county funding that make up the entire $134 million price tag. "The road improvement will make sure our roads operate at the speed of business, creating an efficient flow of trade and travelers from the Mariposa Port to 1-19," says Lance Jungmeyer, FPAA president. "This project reduces transit time from the port of entry to local warehouses, giving companies a valuable incentive to locate their operations in Nogales."
