President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the Government of Mexico will invest 111 billion pesos (mp) in the State of Mexico, with emphasis on the eastern area. The Comprehensive Plan of the East covers ten priority municipalities: Chalco, Chicoloapan, Chimalhuacán, Ecatepec, Ixtapaluca, La Paz, Nezahualcóyotl, Texcoco, Tlalnepantla and Valle de Chalco.
