The historical center of Santiago de los Caballeros will soon see the rat's nest of overhead wires disappear. The idea is to give a better overall appearance to the historical center, with its newly refurbished houses and its 1900 new lights. Governor Jose Izquierdo, the Council for the Rescue of the Historical Center and the executive director of the Strategic Plan for Santiago met and agreed to install the wires underground along Del Sol, 16 de Agosto, Vicente Estrella and other downtown streets. Delays in the installation of the new street lamps could mean the works at the Santiago Monument will not be ready in time for the 16 August anniversary.
