City Mayor Johnny Ventura told El Siglo newspaper that a foreign company is interested in building a major entertainment center at Guibia Beach. The project contemplates the granting of a 20-year concession to operate the center on the city beach strip. Furthermore, Ventura says he is studying architectural plans for the construction of six entertainment areas along the Malec?n, Santo Domingo’s Caribbean-fronting boulevard. The park areas would feature swimming pools, water sports activities and children’s play areas. They would be located on the western stretch of the Malec?n, known as Autopista 30 de Mayo, from Centro de los Heroes on to Km. 12 of Carretera S?nchez. Arch. Te?dulo Blanchard is in charge of the project. The Ministry of Public Works is about to complete the reconstruction of a park along the highway as well as an overpass connecting Avenida Luper?n with the Autopista 30 de Mayo. Mayor Ventura says that he plans to open a new office that would supervise plans to modernize the city and that would be head by economist Frank Guerrero Prats together with Iv?n Rodr?guez and Rafael Calder?n.
