Development near Puerto Lopez Mateos
The Gringo Gazette is reporting that:
| Quote: |
Canada-based JB REI International will invest $500 million in Matancitas, a beachside community near San Carlos and Ciudad Insurgentes in the northern
part of the state. JB investors Carolyn Kramer and Bill Grant met with Gov. Narciso Agundez this month to discuss their hotel and golf project near
Puerto Lopez Mateos. The project is expected to break ground in four to six weeks. The investors also will put some money into agriculture to benefit
the local ejido land owners. Ejido is a form of communal land, and the ejidatarios, or landowners, are pitching in some of their land in partnership
with the developers. JB REI International also plans to build a desalinization plant so that fresh organic produce can be grown locally.

I couldn't find anything about JB REI International on Google. Does anyone have more information about that development?

The part about the ejido partnering up with the developers and the use of a desalinization plant for growing organic veggies sounds promising. But
where will the brine the desal plant produces be stored/shunted? Could that be a problem for the ecology of the area?

in my opinion shear volume of evaporation that goes on every day would effect the salt content in the oceans a million times more then a desal plant
ever could
just the differences from one year to the next drout to flash floods would have a lot more effect
most water is used and then goes to ground water or is evaporated anyway its a circle
whats happening in GN whos replacing the salt thats being taken out of the sea there??perhaps a desal plant might really be needed to creat a
balance??
i think not. No more then a desal plant will change the sea in another area

Not just desal....
Here's another problem to chew on...
Sewage from an increasing non-Catholic population. Such sewage contains the residue of birth control pills. That's why there aren't as many fish as
there used to be. And that's where the whales breed!  
Canadian development in Lopez Mateos...does this mean we'll get whale hockey?

I ask about the desal issue because I was reading the thread on the Loreto Water Meeting at http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=23296
Desalinization was discussed there; for instance Jerry said: "Desal returns 50% usable water, and 50% brine (approx). The water is treated with
chemicals before filtration; those chemicals are left in the brine."
That brine, chemicals and all, has to go somewhere, and I'm just wondering if it might have an adverse affect-- depending on where they put it.

At the risk of sounding anal retentive  there's always been something
that bothered me about the word "desalinization". Maybe because it's hard to roll that word out of my mouth, lol. So I just looked it up (I have way
too much time on my hands) and actually the word is supposed to be "desalination". No "iz" in it. Much easier to say. I feel better now.

My sister told me theres an american woman talking to all the ejidos saying her investors are going to pump billions into that area. And appartently,
seduced many of them to grant her a lease of those lands for the amazing amount of 20,000 dollars. Shes told them about the meeting with the governor,
but when the govermonr was asked about the lady, he said and i quote "i get my picture taken with dozens of people every day, and many come to me
saying they are going to invest here, but i cannot say if shes legit or not".
I already told my sister to tell the land owners to watch out, and that i would be happy to talk to this lady in behalf of them. Anybody that claims
to invest billions, and can only come up with 20,000 dollars to land huge land rights, deserves a lot of attention.

The "American Woman" is probably the same one who tried to steal a Mexican ladies property when the muchacha was away. She with her husband moved into
the house without permission and told everybody in Lopez Mateos they had bought the house from the owner. Upon the muchacha's return and finding these
gringos in her house she asked them to vacate her property. They refused and it took the muchacha placing criminal and civil charges "still in
process" to get them out of her house. These same gringos are being prosecuted for illegal construction on the nature preserve located on magdalena
island. Recent radio news from Constitucion advise the authorities are looking for these gringos for failure to appear to summons presented to them
for their illegal actions on the island. Perhaps this was another reason the deal fell through with the so called five star resort plans.

Development and the destruction of storms, the two most over stated and rarely factual things in Mexico.

Found this - looks like the "American woman" Carolyn Kramer is networking to find $5 million for this project.

Not the name of the "American Woman" I refered to. Don't wish to slander anybody.
The "American Woman" I referred to couldn't come up with enough money to pay her house cleaning lady for several weeks. Or perhaps this is just how
California business folks prefer to treat their obligations when in Mexico. Anybody who would try to steal a Mexican's house and then try not to pay
the hired help should probably go back to where they came from.
