Governor Doug Ducey applauded the passage of $152.4M in new federal funding to modernize the San Luis I Port of Entry in Southern Arizona. Designated as the number one priority port of entry in the United States by Customs and Border Protection, the San Luis I port is one of the busiest ports at the U.S.-Mexico border and the only port to receive this funding.

In September, Governor Ducey sent a letter to Arizona’s congressional delegation urging them to support this critical investment.
