The Technical Commission of the Ministry of Public Works is completing final details for the tender to choose the company that will build the eight towers (700 apartments) to lodge athletes and coaches coming for the Santo Domingo Pan Am Games. Architect Carmen Leyda Mora de Rosario, Deputy Minister of Public Works said that the committee meets daily to review the qualifications of the 16 companies that have shown an interest in participating in the tender. The towers are slated to go up on a lot the Dominican government purchased that is diagonally across from the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center, where most of the sports events will take place in July 2003. Construction is programmed to start after the May 2000 presidential election.
