The rearrangement of Playa Sosúa is part of a National Plan initiated by the government whose general objective is the integral rescue of the beaches of our country. It is a high-impact plan that will allow national and foreign visitors to enjoy more orderly, cleaner and safer beaches, allowing informal merchants to have a decent work space.
Investment
This project that will be executed with an investment of more than RD$600 million, includes the construction and equipping of commercial premises, construction of restrooms, parking lots, lighting, furniture, offices, garbage disposal area, storage area and recreation areas. It also includes the adaptation of sidewalks and surrounding curbs.
The architectural design is integrated into the unevenness of the terrain, resulting in staggered or terraced structures that allow a privileged view of this beautiful place, as well as access to the entire beach. For this, the beach will be readapted for better public use by visitors, and freeing 60 meters of this coastal area from constructionwhich also today shows serious signs of erosion.
Additionally, as part of the social component, Mitur has negotiated with the Professional Technical Training Institute (Infotep), education and training courses for merchants and will also be managing with the Directorate for the Promotion and Support of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises ( Promipyme), low-cost loans for qualifying businesses.
