The Dennis DeConcini Land Port of Entry is located in downtown Nogales, Arizona, and sits directly at the U.S.-Mexico border. The port, named for the former U.S. Senator from Arizona, was originally built in 1931, and underwent a complete renovation in 1994. Further improvements to the port, specifically to the historic Morley Gates pedestrian facility, were completed in 2012.
Today, the port is undersized for current traffic. Delays in processing pedestrian and vehicular traffic have resulted in negative impacts to the local economy which is dependent on sales tax revenues from shoppers entering from Mexico. A new, modern, and expanded facility will strengthen CBP’s security capabilities, improve the traveling public’s experience, and help ease long border crossing wait times.
Address: 9 N Grand Ave, Nogales, AZ 85621
Year constructed: In operation since the 1920s; began to take its current shape in 1957
Port size: 5 Acres
Budget: TBD
