Overview
- The local electoral institute will run the Dec. 14 consultation with 78 polling stations across 35 sections from 8:00 to 15:00, and authorities say the project will not proceed without approval.
- For the buildout, MXN 1,300 million is projected for the recycling complex and MXN 420 million for the ecological park, with the first stage expected to take about one year.
- Officials said the facility would process waste from Tula, Atitalaquia and Tlaxcoapan at first, later expanding to other parts of Hidalgo, and it will not accept waste from other states.
- The plan would repurpose the former Calderón-era refinery site into an ecological park with sports areas alongside a recycling plant.
- Private participation is expected, and a Spanish company is reported to be seeking a partnership with Pemex to produce so‑called green aviation fuel and biogas.
