Neighbors of the Centro Comercial Acropolis and the Citibank Tower in Piantini oppose the installation of four 2,000-kilo power plants that would supply the modern building with power. The neighbors complain that what is being installed is not an emergency plant, but a permanent source of power to the building. Rodrigo Montealegre, spokesman for the office and commercial center project, says that the building and the power plant fill US Environmental Protection Agency standards for a power plant, and that they will be installing a 34 meter tall chimney with air purifiers. The neighbors say that the new Environmental Law 64 prohibits the installation of a power plant of its kind. The Acropolis building will be the tallest in the Dominican Republic. It is going up at a cost of RD$800 million on Av. Winston Churchill.
