The Economic Development Bank this week marked the end of the first phase of the Vieques and Culebra Tourism and Commercial Development Loan Program, which has already approved $1 million in loans that have created 74 new jobs split between the two island municipalities.
Three new hotels — including the first to incorporate a casino — are in the works for the island municipality of Vieques, representing a total investment of $55.1 million and the possibility of adding some 200 new rooms, News is my Business has learned.
Nearly three months after announcing the approval of a $3.5 million loan to facilitate the construction of a new boutique hotel in Vieques, Economic Development Bank officials participated Monday in the groundbreaking for what in December 2012 should become the El Blok boutique hotel.
