The central mountain town of Utuado will become home to the island’s first affordable, eco-friendly elderly home, which is slated to begin construction in January 2013, at a cost of $5.2 million, representatives of the nonprofit developer in charge of the project, Pathstone CDC de Puerto Rico, announced this week.
Vieques — Casa Solaris, the newest addition to the eco-friendly Hix Island House hotel on this island municipality, quietly opened two months ago and has been drawing a consistent wave of guests looking to stay in the first all-solar, off-the-grid guesthouse in the region, property manager Bob Gevinski told News is my Business.
