Satellite television provider DirecTV is looking to strengthen its leadership position in Puerto Rico through a $50 million investment in new projects during 2012.
Nearly 50 years after it was founded in Arecibo, the world’s foremost single-dish radio telescope facility is the focus of a massive redevelopment project that calls for the construction of a hotel and planetarium to the tune of $50 million, government and facility officials said Tuesday.
The government may be scouting for a private company to operate the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Carolina, but while that happens it is moving forward with some $40 million in improvement projects that are either near completion or will go up for bids in coming weeks.
