Mega-mall developer DDR Corp. announced Wednesday plans to expand its redevelopment program on the island from $50 million to $90 million, creating additional space at its four shopping centers. As a result, it will sign up new tenants, including the first Bath and Body Works store in Puerto Rico, to be located in Plaza del Sol in Bayamón.
Puerto Rico Trade Company Executive Director Francisco Chévere and Small Business Administration Regional Director Jorge Silva Puras, signed a collaboration agreement to maximize the benefits of the services currently offered by both institutions and will help promote the growth and development of the small and medium-sized enterprises.
Seeking to put a plug in the island’s significant “brain drain” problem, Puerto Rican Minds in Action, a nonprofit organization led by young students and professionals announced the opening of enrollment for its fourth “Empowerment and Retention of Agents of Change” program (known as PARACa in Spanish) slated for the summer.
