The farmers’ produce market located in the Honduras neighborhood of Santo Domingo is now the most modern in the city. Mayor David Collado was there yesterday to formally reopen the market that dates back to 1965 after a RD$23 million remodelling. There are 70 vendor stalls in the market.
The city government added a medical dispensary, a city fees office and a civil registration office. Security was enhanced with the installation of 32 video surveillance cameras, 14 new ceiling fans, bathroom facilities, and other improvements for hygiene and comfort of vendors and customers.
Collado said that the city government will next renovate the Mercado Modelo on Avenida Mella and the Mercado de la Duarte.
