Description

The General Services Administration (GSA) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of modernizing and expanding the Nogales DeConcini Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Nogales, Arizona. The project aims to address issues with the outdated and inefficient current LPOE layout, inadequate space, and separation from the U.S.-Mexico border. The modernization includes replacement of existing buildings, expansion of the facility from five acres to approximately 25.5 acres, and improvements to traffic flow and security. The EIS will consider two action alternatives and a no action alternative, analyzing impacts on air quality, water resources, cultural resources, traffic, and socioeconomic factors.
