I read last year....and I can't for the life of me remember where I put that article.... that a new port was being put into the Puerto Plata area. Apparently it is to increase the tourism with respect to Cruise Traffic in addition to import/exporting biz.

Does anyone know of this or care to comment about the impact in the area once this port is finished?

There are several interested parties in building a cruise port in Puerto Plata but it would require the dismantling of the ugly power plants in the harbor and the upgrading of facilities. The new president has said that he would relocate the power plants but with the current power situation in the country and the cost involved, it might just be wishful thinking.
