The agreement approved by the Municipal Council suspends future construction and preliminary projects in the Condado del Rey area and surrounding neighborhoods.

Prensa.com reports that “…During the session of the Municipal Council on November 21, the municipal engineer Ricardo Sanchez said that the suspension will be maintained until the respective hydrological studies and storm drains studies are carried out to avoid problems of flooding in that area.”

At the beginning of October, the National Civil Protection System recommended suspending permits for new real estate projects in San Miguelito and Panama, until the real impact that urban growth has had on the area was determined.

“… The mayor of San Miguelito Gerald Cumberbatch, had already made the decision to suspend construction permits in those communities, and said that its administration should take place in an orderly manner that does not cause harm to the private sector or to any home.”
