San Ignacio Streets Will Be re - Paved

Last week we told you about the launching of the Municipal Development Project in Punta Gorda where a contract for about $425,000.00 was signed. Well, this AFTERNOON a $218,000 contract was signed to enhance safety and traffic flow on the busiest roads of San Ignacio, Santa Elena and Belmopan. It was signed in Belmopan at the Social Investment Fund headquarters by the Executive Director of the SIF, Mr Daniel Cano and Mr. Hugo Lemus who signed on behalf of Modern Construk a construction company. It represents the formal launching and first civil works projects as a part of the Belize Municipal Development Project. This 5 year project is being financed by the Government of Belize through a 30 million dollar loan from the World Bank. The main objective of the BMDP is to improve access to basic municipal infrastructure and to enhance municipal management in selected Town and City Councils.

HILLVIEW, a suburb of the TWIN TOWNS consisting of San Ignacio and Santa Elena Towns, in the 23 years of it´s existence, have NEVER ever, had it´s streets paved, even once. Residents of the town Santa Elena Town, complain the Town Council of San Ignacio continuously re - construct their side of the river twin towns, year after year, but NEVER do anything on the Santa Elena Town side of the Macal River. It is time Santa Elena Town had it´s own Town Council.
