Two years, not two months

The DR1 Daily News Friday release reported that Lurgi Lejes Bischoff of Germany and Acres International and Interteck Consulting, of Canada, would work together to install a power-producing incinerator. The news story said that the incinerator would be installed in "two months". This should have read "two years." This is a project that will be developed with the support of the Municipality of Santo Domingo at a cost of US$200 million. The generator is expected to produce 102 megawatts. The plant will be fed garbage selected from the Duquesa landfill, where most of the garbage generated by Santo Domingo residents is dumped.
