Have you heard anything about rural road construction that might be planned for the La Pintada area of Cocle province? As you may recall, I have some land there (about 80 acres) that only has a dirt road (not even gravel) accessing it. No power either. I was hoping the turn in the economy would head my way…
Do you know of any online mapping I could access that might show the planned development for that region?
Thanks.
