The Ministry of Environment has also ordered the demolition of houses recently built on the banks of the Yaque del Norte River near the Avenida Circunvalacion in Santiago. The houses were located in the New York Chiquito barrio, near the Nibaje neighborhood. Trees and recreational facilities were due to be planted and installed in the area where the demolition of recent constructions had taken place.
The Ministry of Environment recently made the news when it was announced that that another government department, Direccion de Bienes Nacionales, had irregularly sold land adjacent to the Military Club park area at the entrance of Santiago, primarily to a group of military officers. Reportedly, the Ministry of Environment is recommending that Bienes Nacionales refund any down payments that may have been made by the buyers.
