Mega-Region of the Southwest Border Lorraine Rivera, Producer | Steve Riggs, Videographer | Arlene Islas, Videographer

The trade between Arizona and Sonora is valued at over $10 billion. It’s a relationship that many say must survive.

Arizona Public Media traveled to Hermosillo, Sonora’s capital and largest city, for an in-depth report on its cross-border economic efforts and an analysis of the development of the region as a business power. While in the region, AZPM took in the sights, sounds, and economic data of the expatriate coastal village and port of nearby San Carlos, on the Sonoran side of the Arizona-Mexico economic “mega-region.”

Arizona’s ties to Sonora, Mexico are strongly backed by the economic growth experienced by both. What is clear is that the two states have the opportunity to make a global impact with the continued growth of their friendship.
