A number of U.S. lawmakers sent a bipartisan letter to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requesting a 90-day extension of the foreclosure moratorium in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands ahead of the current March 19 deadline.
Puerto Rico’s film industry is set to generate $225 million for the island’s economy this fiscal year ending in June, with several television and film projects in the pipeline that will generate some 12,000 jobs, government officials said Sunday.
