Avondale and Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point), Sonora, recently finalized a Sister Cities agreement.
Signed by Vice Mayor Mike Pineda and Rocky Point Secretary Miguel Angel Maciel Felix, the agreement creates a five-year framework between the two cities to boost economic development in both areas.
“The intent was really to highlight, promote and educate the residents of both of our communities on one another,” Pineda said. “For us as a city — considering our new tourism designation — it gives us the ability to promote and advertise our city, whether it be here within the state or elsewhere. And in this case, internationally, we wanted to take advantage of those opportunities.”
