Crowley Puerto Rico Services announced Monday it is continuing to deliver on its commitment to Puerto Rico with the execution of an additional $21 million construction contract for improvements and upgrades at its Isla Grande port terminal in San Juan.
Once a vigorous part of the economy, Puerto Rico's construction sector remains mired at its lowest point in more than a decade with little hope of improvement in the next year, when activity is expected to stay at its present level of under $2 billion, said a spokesman for the industry.
The Associated General Contractors of America, Puerto Rico Chapter, in coordination with the Department of Education will conduct the annual closing of its “Build Up!” and “On Site!” programs May 12, when some 300 children and 50 adults from island public schools will gather.
