Undated municipal figureMunicipalidad de Villa Nueva

Villa Nueva is the industrial municipality par excellence: the city government reports 282 industrial plants (food, plastics, textiles, metalworking, chemicals, paints, paper, wood) and names as anchors Laboratorios Donovan Werke, INGASA and GALCASA, Pinturas Celco, Durman Esquivel, Coca-Cola/FEMSA and PepsiCo; it is at the same time a commuter municipality with strong retail and banking. Parks: the Consigna free zone (Granjas Italia) and the Unisur Industrial Park (km 20, Bárcenas); access via the CA-9 Sur, with its own municipal transit police. It has a physical Municipal One-Stop Window and an Electronic Municipal Window; the Urban Management office publishes online its regulations, forms and building-permit requirements by type (residential, commercial/industrial, subdivisions, earthworks, hoardings, poles/cabling), and the property tax (IUSI) account statement can even be checked over WhatsApp. In FUNDESA's 2025 Local Competitiveness Index (ICL) it ranks 5th in the country (72.21).
