With the announcement of a long, long list of public works, President Leonel Fernandez led a government cabinet meeting in Santiago. The announcement of an estimated RD$5.75 billion in projects was met with a combination of skepticism and joy since Santiago has long been accustomed to such speeches. Among the projects to be completed are highways, schools, aqueducts and bridges. Also included in the list of projects is the remodeling of prized institutions such as the Ateneo Cibaeno, the first public library in the Cibao, and the Cultural Center. At long last the Regional Theater will get its new air conditioning system and the Cibao Baseball Stadium will be once again remodeled for the Caribbean World Series next year. In an attempt to mitigate the loss of jobs in the industrial free zones, the President announced a RD$150 million investment package in PROMIPYME, the agency responsible for stimulating micro-, small-and medium-sized businesses.
In his travels to Puerto Plata, the President also ordered the repair of the Puerto Plata-Navarette highway, and the completion of works at the Avenida Manolo Tavarez Justo.
