Border Closure at Lukeville Port Sparks Concern for Rocky Point Businesses and Arizona Votes
The closure of the Lukeville Port of Entry is causing a slowdown in business and tourism in Rocky Point, Mexico. The closure of the most direct route for Arizonans to reach Rocky Point is impacting the economy, with potential losses in the millions of dollars. Condos, restaurants, and other businesses are experiencing cancellations and reduced customer traffic, leading to layoffs and financial strain. The closure's impact extends beyond Arizona, affecting the economy throughout the United States. If the closure continues, businesses may be forced to reduce operating hours or close entirely, further impacting employees and families.
