The recently-opened Teatro Vallarta served as backdrop for an official ceremony carried out March 5 in which Bahía de Banderas mayor, Hector Paniagua Salazar and Puerto Vallarta Mayor, Salvador Gonzalez Resendiz, signed a conurbation treaty that will bring great benefits for tourism, economic, cultural and social development for both municipalities. Thanks to this agreement, both municipalities will be able to become eligible for federal resources.

The ceremony was also attended by official representatives of both municipalities,  businessmen, students and members of the general public who witnessed this historic event. The new alliance will receive over a hundred million pesos in federal funds for the construction of two new bridges over the Ameca river. Further programs and specific projects will be announced by both municipalities in the ensuing weeks.
