Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Q.R. — The Government of Mexico has expropriated more land in the south of Quintana Roo for Tren Maya use. On Wednesday, approximately 68 hectares in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto was purchased for its use.

The Government of Mexico published the expropriation decree in the Official Gazette of the Federation by which the area of 68-83-91 hectares (sixty-eight hectares, eighty-three areas, ninety and one centiare) in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto will be used.
The land will be signed over to Fonatur Tren Maya, SA de CV to be used for the construction of railway infrastructure and operation of the Tren Maya Project.
