President Luis Abenader, along with his key ministers, announced on Saturday at the Valverde County Governing Council, a public investment of about 29 billion pesos to be implemented in the counties of the Northwest Line.
Business is planned for this last semester and first semester of 2022.
Luis Abenader explained that some of these projects will mostly be public-private investments, with the public part considering the construction of the Manzanillo wharf at $6,800 million, part of the resources by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
“I have no doubt that with this investment, the Northwest Line will change radically for the better,” the president said.
The project, announced by the President in four governorates on the northwest line, included building and completing hospitals, renovating primary care units, and investments in the field of clean energy.
Also, discussions in the Board of Directors covered housing issues, “the latter showing the impact of the Dominicana Reconstruye programme.”
At the meeting, the Minister of Public Works and Communications, Delane Ascension, said that a general plan will be drawn up in Valverde County for asphalting, construction of docks and containers covering all municipalities of this county.
The meeting took place in the Multipurpose Room of the Autonomous University of Santos Domingo (UASD).
The president has an agenda this weekend for the counties of Valverde, Santiago Rodriguez, Santiago and Puerto Plata.
