““Hello, I’m Juan Ramirez, Laredo City Council Member for District eight.

Proper planning of a community takes into account many aspects-transportation systems, demographics, topography, and environmental impact. Laredo is unique in that its global placement and prominence in the international trade arena and the demands of that industry weigh heavily on local planners and its infrastructure system. We ask for your support of railway operational improvements, acquisition of land at our Laredo International Airport, and assistance with maintenance and operation for our transit center.”
