| Mayoress and Area Representative conduct ribbon cutting ceremony
at ferry ramp
|
Civic improvements continue in San Pedro,
with the recent rebuilding of the southern access ramp at the Boca del
Rio ferry. Additionally, three families across the river cut now have
running water in their homes. Funded entirely by the San Pedro Town
Council (SPTC), the inauguration of both took place on Monday afternoon,
and opened with a special blessing by Lay Minister Lucio Guerrero of the
Roman Catholic Church. The ceremony concluded with speeches from Mayoress
Elsa Paz and Area Representative Manuel Heredia Jr.
These developments are part of a continuing effort by
the SPTC to provide "better services to the people of San Pedro." The
ramp costs totaled $14,000, while the cost to provide water service
totaled $30,000. The Diaz, Turner and Rancheran families in
the Boca del Rio
Area stated they have been waiting almost six years for this development
and are ecstatic to have running water in their homes. They anxiously
await the installation of electricity, a $75,000 project, promised for
completion in July. Through this medium, the families would like to
extend their utmost gratitude to Mayoress Elsa Paz, SPTC and Area
Representative Manuel Heredia Jr. for making their "utility" dreams come
true.
This is not the end of the civic upgrades
to San Pedro Town, as the SPTC assures the community it will continues to
take small steps towards providing a better resort town. Already this
month, a $25,000 refurbishing project was completed at the Five-A-Side
court, as well as a $13,000 fence provided at Ambergris Stadium.
The SPTC would like to encourage residents to express
their ideas for town improvements at an upcoming quarterly public meeting
planned for the end of this month.
