PM Promises Development in San Mateo

The government and the Inter-American Development Bank have come to an agreement to develop areas in San Pedro. Recently, Prime Minister John Briceño and representatives from the I.D.B. assessed areas in the San Mateo area of San Pedro to determine what areas can be improved with funding from the bank. Here’s what he had to say about the consultation.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“What happened is that the IDB is coming up with a program in developing urban areas.  And we went to show the officials of IDB. That once you put in good road, the people there start to improve their homes, the quality of homes. And they have left a section that was not paved so that we can still put in a sewerage and water system in that area. Which we believe is the next phase that we want to do. They are very pleased and they’re prepared to continue to support us. They’re going to give us a grant of several millions of dollars to be able to do some work in San Mateo. Along with the law that we’re doing to upgrade and do more work in Orange Walk town and the Corozal Town along with San Pedro.”
