Yauco Mayor Ángel Luis “Luigi” Torres Ortiz met with Resident Commissioner Pablo Hernández Rivera in Washington on Saturday to discuss the need to expedite the partial dredging of the Río Yauco.
“At the same time we dealt with our [part of the] commitment and dedicated reconstruction equipment,” the mayor said. “The meeting was very productive.”
“In the meeting we discussed the partial dredging of the Río Yauco, already submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the responsibility of the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources,” Torres Ortiz said. “The project is fundamental for the security and well-being of yaucanos.”
