ABSTRACT
This white paper describes the first stage in the development of a new astronomical site in Argentina at the Macon Ridge. In its initial phase, the development consists of two projects: the ABRAS project and the TOROS project. Both are complementary in nature and require a common infrastructure, which is at an advanced stage of development but will require additional funding to be completed and to be able to sustain regular operations.
