BiggerUS$1.3B for paving and sidewalks
Santo Domingo.- Public Works Minister, Deligne Ascención, announced a program of reconstruction, paving and patching of streets, construction of sidewalks and gutters in all of Dominican Republic’s provinces, at a cost of RD$72 billion (US$1.3 billion).
Ascención spoke in a mass in the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo, San Carlos sector, whose structures were renovated by Public Works.
“We are going to start in the next few days, a broad reconstruction, paving, patching and construction of sidewalks and containers in all neighborhoods and urbanizations of the 31 provinces of the country and the National District, with an investment of approximately 72 billion of pesos.”
It’s good news, but I hope it’s done to a proper standard, because usually everything breaks up again after a very short time.
Good news. Yet, as almost always the favored and influential will have sidewalks and streets improved at or near their properties placed high on the list of these projects.
We are in crisis and this works can wait another year so we don’t have to borrow money to do it. Let’s do thing responsibly.
Over a billion dollars??? umm hope this doesn’t end in the wrong hands.
lmao i though the same +_+”
