Con una idea clara sobre un objetivo de mercado de una población no local, es decir emigrantes, que durante los últimos han potencializado la economía de la región debido a la a uencia monetario de los estilos de vida
ajenos (una gran parte de pensionados americanos) y el turismo. Es por eso que el desarrollo rurbano-residencial del cual este centro de forma parte debe entender que es un proyecto que debe de obedecer a los ambientes serenos y de relajación que le dan carácter al partido, pero también ayudará a un mejor desarrollo a futuro.
