It is only appropriate that Mayor Betsy Price visit Fort Worth’s closest sister city Toluca, Mexico. Toluca was signed as an official partner in 1998. Mayor Price’s visit comes at the end of a DFW Airport mission trip to Mexico City where she and Dallas Mayor Rawlings are promoting the opportunities of the North Texas Region.

“Fort Worth Sister Cities plays a huge role in enhancing the image of our city abroad. Our city’s future is bright and continues to focus on promoting international business, trade and tourism,” said Mayor Betsy Price. “These are the reasons I am headed to meet with our sister city partner in Mexico. It’s about making those connections and putting Fort Worth on the map.”

While in Toluca, Price will visit with Mayor Zamora, city councilors, and business leaders to discuss potential partnership opportunities and exchanges. She will also receive information on the upcoming youth and educator exchanges that will occur over the summer and discuss an upcoming Women’s Symposia co-sponsored by the Women’s Policy Forum of Fort Worth to be held in the spring of 2017.
