With the aim of restoring and revitalizing the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo in an integrated manner, stimulating the private economy, increasing job opportunities and maximizing the resources of this World Heritage site, representatives of businesses, government institutions and community groups have agreed on a joint Strategic Plan.
The agreement was released yesterday during a press conference by the representatives of the Association of the City of Ovando, the Union of Residents Associations of the Colonial City, the Ministry of the Interior and Police and the Dominican Tourism Police.
Louis Brocker and Lisandro Macarrulla, president and vice-president of the Ovando City Association, said that the actions to be implemented included underground cabling of electricity and telephone lines, installation of a natural gas system, opening museums at night and extending the opening hours of entertainment centers until 3am.
