Government Development Bank President Melba Acosta announced Thursday the filing of legislation containing measures to improve the fiscal and financial situation of the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority.
The Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority confirmed Wednesday that 30 local companies have been certified to participate in bids for federally funded highway and transportation projects, which will help “strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life.”
The Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority will kick off next week a new ticket discount program for drivers who have used the “AutoExpreso” lane without the funds needed to cover the toll.
The Puerto Rico government’s economic team presented four measures to shore up $280 million for the Highway Authority, which is deep in the hole with the Government Development Bank, to which it owes $2.1 billion.
“Thrift is definitely trending as a sector. We’re grateful for that because we use the proceeds from the goods sold in our stores to invest in programs that help people and communities.
Puerto Rico is a new market for us, with one store open and several others on the way, and the reception has been awesome.”
— Kent Kramer, CEO, Goodwill de Puerto Rico
