4FrontED Business Case:

This report is the foundational document from which all 4FrontED goals, objectives, and activities are developed. The Arizona-Mexico Border Region covers 12,921 square miles. The Sonora Border Region (11 municipios) adjacent to the international border have a combined population of 632,005 residents (25.5% of Sonora’s population). Mayors in Yuma County and San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, the Yuma County Board of Supervisors and Cocopah Nation have been collaborating on economic development for several years. The result of this coordination is the creation of a binational regional economic development effort. This effort has been branded 4FRONTED. While the defined geographic area of 4FrontED includes Yuma County, the municipality of San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, and surrounding population from Algodones and the valleys of San Luis Rio Colorado, Imperial Valley, California, and Mexicali, Baja California Norte.
