Senate Passes Bipartisan Bill to Streamline New Mexico Ports of Entry
U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) announced the passage of the International Bridge and Port of Entry Modernization Act, which will speed up the presidential permitting process for international bridges and land ports of entry.
Ports of entry and international bridges are crucial to the economic success of border communities, supporting trade, business, and tourism. However, new border crossings are often delayed by the presidential permit process.
"I'm proud to announce the Senate passage of my legislation that will help streamline this process and deliver real investments to Santa Teresa and Sunland Park in New Mexico," said Senator Luján.
The Border Trade Alliance thanked Sen. Lujan for his leadership in strengthening the permitting process for cross-border infrastructure projects.
