US Embassy moving?

[NewsWhore]

Listin Diario writes that the US Embassy in Santo Domingo, located on the corner of Cesar Nicolas Penson and Leopoldo Navarro streets, could be moving due to security issues at its current location. Listin quotes Ambassador Hans H. Hertell as saying that the embassy and its offices could move to a place with increased security. The ambassador says that the embassy doesn't fulfill current safety and security requirements. Listin explains that the US diplomatic mission in the DR has discussed the idea of moving from its current location for more than 10 years, but no move has ever been made official. The embassy has been at its current location for 70 years.
