Customs and Border Protection officials say the Raul Hector Castro Port of Entry, in Douglas , processed over a billion dollars of products last year. A new commercial port and upgrades to the existing port will increase their productivity. On Wednesday, the City of Douglas donated land they own by the southern border to the U.S. General Services Administration. The new commercial port of entry will be built west of that land.

“Although this is a great project for the City of Douglas, for Cochise County in the state of Arizona, what's going to happen here in the next several years is going to impact the rest of the United States,” said District Director for Congressman Raul Grijalva, Ruben Reyes.A new commercial port frees up the Raul Hector Castro Port of Entry from commercial drivers, decreasing wait time for commuters.
