New Terminal inaugurated in Sans Souci
SANTO DOMINGO.- With the presence of President Leonel Fernandez, Felipe Vicini of the Vicini Group and mayors Roberto Salcedo and Juan de los Santos, the new cruise ship terminal at Sans Souci, representing an investment of US$45 million, was inaugurated. The project includes the renewal of the port of Santo Domingo and the dragging of the port itself.

In the construction stage, the project will generate an average of 20,400, while the greatest number of jobs will be in 2018 when 31,000 jobs will be created, 17,000 direct and 14,000 indirect.

The numbers were offered by Lisandro Macarrulla, the president of Sans Souci Ports, who said that for this year, if they are able to begin the new naval base for the Navy in Boca Chica, the naval school, and the infrastructure for tourist and hotel development, job creation could reach as many as 16,000, with 9,000 direct jobs and another 5,000 indirect jobs.

He told reporters that if work could not begin on the new base and the naval academy, as well as the infrastructure needed for the real estate development, new jobs would be limited to 5,500, of which the expenditures of passengers would accounts for 3,300 new jobs.

Macarrulla said that the Sans Souci Group is willing to begin the transfer of the navy base and initiate the work on the infrastructure needed for the real estate development and go forward with the proposal of drainage and sewers of Santo Domingo that currently prevent the development of a sports marina.

Macarrulla also reported that in April the Plaza Juan Baron would be opened, a public park with 12,000 square meters of space that is being recovered for public use.

The plaza will be a joint effort by the Sans Souci Group and the municipality of Santo Domingo. The former will manage the commercial areas and the guidelines for use of the space, and the latter will provide the framework for public use of the space.

The group will also provide the municipal authorities of Santo Domingo with the plan that would integrate the Columbus Lighthouse, the Park of the East and the Tres Ojos Park.

Macarrulla added that the group is also working to control the discharge of garbage and solid wastes into the Ozama River, basically, in the solution of the wastes that come from the creek through the Bartolome Colon marina which produces 70% of the solid wastes that go into the river.
