Mexico’s Querétaro state is attempting to work out financing with the federal government and the private sector to build a high-speed passenger and freight rail project linking Querétaro and Mexico state.
The federal government proposed building the line as a public-private partnership, state governor Francisco Domínguez told media outlets, adding that the idea came from President Andrés Manuel López Obrador himself.
Construction of the line, however, will not begin next year since it was not included in the 2020 budget proposal that was presented on September 8.
“Nothing is included in the budget proposal for the Mexico-Querétaro high-speed train because the [land rights] for the rail line have already been purchased," Domínguez told reporters. “Although it’s a federal project, it’s also an [economic boost] for Querétaro.”
