US$465M spent on Samaná province, but more is needed
Samaná.- Around 465 million dollars has been spent to develop Samaná province in his last administrations, said president Leonel Fernandez during the popular dialogue held here yesterday.
He said the funds were spent to build the Santo Domingo – Samaná highway, as part of the project North Atlantic Boulevard, and in the construction of the aqueduct, with the completion of its second stage is still pending.
The chief executive said the investments represent almost half of what it cost to build the Santo Domingo Metro, and chided that, “in Samaná we have a metro of development.”
After hearing the requests and demands by the province’s community representatives, ranging from ambulances to the reconstruction of churches, Fernandez said Samaná has only “small details” pending which are “insignificant” in comparison with this investment.
Among those “small details” the chief executive noted is the embellishment of the entrance to Samaná and the transfer of the garbage dump to the outskirts of the urban area.
