Progress continues on renovations at San Cristóbal Market

San Cristobal, DR.- The refurbishment of the Mercado Modelo in San Cristóbal is underway, with an investment exceeding 101 million pesos from the Republic’s Presidency and the San Cristóbal City Council. This extensive renovation of the seventy-year-old market includes the installation of over two thousand meters of tiles, as well as the pouring of nearly ten linear meters of the front sidewalk.

The internal renovations involve adapting existing booths, constructing new kiosks, restoring stairs, waterproofing the roof, and updating both electrical and plumbing systems. Additionally, the project includes significant work on a warehouse featuring a metal structure made of aluzinc and concrete, which will have polished flooring, masonry walls, and a kiosk for selling cards. This final phase of construction also includes installing doors and windows and making general improvements in shopping and grocery areas. The long-awaited remodeling of the Municipal Market is seen as a significant enhancement for the San Cristóbal community.
