As part of its commitment to contribute to the recovery of the island, the Ford office for Puerto Rico, Central America and the Caribbean carried out the first event of its “Ruta Solidaria Ford” in the Buenos Aires community of Arecibo, where the Río Grande river covered streets and homes with mud, causing great losses.
Avara’s Arecibo plant did not sustain significant impact to its critical manufacturing areas, and the company is expected to continue delivering to customers, the company’s CEO, Tim Tyson said Thursday.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it has added a former battery recycling facility in Arecibo to its Superfund National Priorities List of the country’s most hazardous waste sites.
