Marina Coming to PG Says Mayor Galvez

Last night we told you that Punta Gorda Town Mayor Carlos “Obeah” Galvez is taking another victory lap, after the High Court struck out a U.D.P. petition against the town’s March 2024 municipal election. In our interview with Mayor Galvez, we also asked him about ongoing infrastructure work within the municipality, like the construction of a marina. Here is what he told us.

 

Carlos “Obeah” Galvez, Mayor, Punta Gorda Town

“I have been spending a lot of time focusing on trying to get the work done. The people of PG have given us a mandate. I am grateful to the prime minister and all the other colleagues, all those other ministers who are instrumental in ensuring PG gets its fair share. We have a lot of projects onstream. A milestone achievement is going to be that Joe Taylor Bridge. We have the House of Culture by B.T.B. and Anthony Mahler, a marina coming in place. As we speak, that hot mix truck is going down to PG and we are going to get five more streets hot mixed, hopefully by the end of September. So, the work is ongoing. There is a lot of work. I have submitted an additional budget for ten additional streets. So, a lot of work has been going on and I want to applaud my colleague Osmond Martinez. We are a great team and with him on my team we are going to accomplish a lot and stick to Plan Belize.”
